Updating edited repeated segments
Repeated segments can be managed from several places in XTM Workbench depending on whether actions performed on them are one-off segment-specific actions or global actions.
XTM always checks if the segment you are working on is repeated in your file. If yes, it automatically places the same translation in all identical segments. If translations in any repeated segments are edited, you can configure the way repeated segments are updated by choosing one of the following options:
Do not update segments | does not overwrite translations in repeated segments |
Update segments above | overwrites translations in repeated segments only above the edited segment |
Update segments below | overwrites translations in repeated segments only below the edited segment |
Update all segments | overwrites translations in all repeated segments |
Update filtered segments | overwrites translations only in filtered repeated segments. If no filter is active, all repeated segments will be updated. |
You can update filtered segments in two ways:
on the system level by applying settings to all filtered segments under the General tab
on the segment by segment basis from the context menu.
