Accepting tracked changes
Note
This is a Beta feature.
Segments containing tracked changes are NOT saved or updated in the translation memory until you reject or accept all tracked changes that are present in these segments.
Also, segments containing tracked changes will not be displayed in the project files (including preview and target files) until all changes are either accepted or rejected.
Target segment changes made in Tracking changes mode ARE displayed as tracked changes, even after you switch to Editing mode. This means you can also accept or reject tracked changes in Editing mode.
As a Project Manager, open the relevant project, in the relevant target language, in edit mode, in XTM Workbench.
As a Linguist, open the relevant task, in XTM Workbench.
In the relevant segment, select the tracked change that you want to accept. This can either be a change made by you or by another XTM Workbench user.
Right-click on the relevant tracked change.
From the dropdown, select:
Accept – to only accept the selected tracked change in the relevant segment.
Accept all – to accept all tracked changes in the relevant segment.
Tip
You can also set keyboard shortcuts for accepting tracked changes. For details, see Shortcut settings in XTM Workbench.
Result: if the content that you have accepted has been formatted as green underlined text (it is an added text), it is now displayed as plain text.
If the content that you have accepted has been formatted as red strikethrough text (it is a deleted text), it is no longer displayed in the relevant segment.
When all changes in the relevant segment have either been accepted or rejected, the segment is saved or updated in the translation memory.
Also, segments that contained tracked changes which have either been accepted or rejected, will now be displayed in the project files (including preview and target files).
