Create a project: Settings

This section provides information about optional Settings parameters that you can use while creating a project in XTM Cloud.

Table 31. Create a project: Settings parameters

Parameter	Description	Mandatory/Optional	Type	Valid values
Use the selected customer’s	XTM automatically tags TMs and terminology with the customer name. When you create a project, XTM automatically uses the customer’s TM and terminology for the matching.	Optional	Radio buttons	Valid values: Terminology TM Terminology and TM (default)
Select customers	Enables you to use other than the automatically tagged TMs and terminologies for a project	Optional	Multiple selection The icon adds customers and the icon removes customers	Multiple customers
Use not approved memory	By default, XTM only uses approved TMs for matching. However, this parameter enables you to use non-approved TM. It is important to note that XTM automatically approves TM when a project has been completed, so by selecting this option you may be using TM that has not been through a correct or review process yet.	Optional	Checkbox	Valid values: Selected (default) Cleared
Hide repeated segments	Hides repeated segments when repeats exceed a specified percentage part of a file. When the specified threshold condition is met and the project is being opened in the XTM Workbench, a filter called All segments except repeats is triggered automatically. The filter hides repeated segments but displays all other segment types, including the source of repeats. The feature includes cross-file repetitions. Repeated segments are automatically hidden in XTM Workbench and then silently propagated to all subsequent repetitions. The filter can be deactivated in XTM Workbench and activated again but it is not available for projects where the Hide repeated segments option was not activated.	Optional	Checkbox Numeric (in percentage)	Valid values: Selected Cleared (default) Activates when repeats exceed X % of a file
Allow editing of ICE segments	Unlocks In-Context Exact matches for editing	Optional	Checkbox	Valid values: Selected (default) Cleared
Set ICE matches from not approved TM to done	Enables you to immediately set ICE matches from not approved TM to done without the need to confirm them in the XTM Workbench.	Optional	Checkbox Radio buttons	When selected (default), valid values for these segments that can be set to done in: All except last step First step only All steps (default) The default is determined by system settings or customer settings. Note The customer settings take priority over system settings.
Set leveraged matches from approved TM to done	Enables you to immediately set leveraged matches from approved TM to done without the need to confirm them in the XTM Workbench.	Optional	Checkbox Radio buttons	When selected (default), valid values for these segments that can be set to done in: All except last step First step only All steps (default) The default is determined by system settings or customer settings. Note The customer settings take priority over system settings.
Set leveraged matches from not approved TM to done	Enables you to immediately set leveraged matches from not approved TM to done without the need to confirm them in the XTM Workbench.	Optional	Checkbox Radio buttons	When selected (default), valid values for these segments that can be set to done in: All except last step First step only All steps The default is determined by system settings or customer settings. Note The customer settings take priority over system settings
Set non-translatables as done	Enables you to immediately set non-translatables to done without the need to confirm them in the XTM Workbench.	Optional	Checkbox Radio buttons	When selected (default), valid values for these segments that can be set to done in: All except last step First step only All steps (default) The default is determined by system settings or customer settings.

Monitor target length	Allows linguists to monitor the number of characters in the target segment. There are three options available which enable you to set the character limits of the target segment. XTM controls the target length of a paragraph and not a sentence. These segments are separated by a dotted line in XTM Workbench. Thus, for example when translating an Excel file, XTM controls the length of all the text in a cell or in an XML file all the text in an element.	Optional	Checkbox Numeric	Cleared (default) When selected, valid values: Source less X % / Source plus X % - XTM will calculate the upper- and lower-character limits based on the number of characters in the source text plus or minus a specified percentage Source less X characters / Source plus X characters - XTM will calculate the upper- and lower-character limits based on the number of characters in the source text plus or minus a specified number of characters X characters - an exact number of characters for the upper and lower limit
Use Anonymization	If set by the System Administrator in Configuration and for the customer, the Use Anonymization checkbox becomes available when creating a project . Automatic text anonymization only functions for some languages. The supported languages are: Danish Dutch English French German Italian Spanish Swedish Portuguese For Microsoft Word source files, if text is styled with "anon", anonymization will function for any language. See //User Manual// for more information.	Optional	Checkbox	Valid values: Selected Cleared The default is determined by system settings or customer settings. Note The customer settings take priority over system settings.
Alternative translations	If set by the System Administrator in Configuration and for the customer, the Alternative translation checkbox becomes available when creating a project – select that checkbox and the number of alternatives to activate the feature for the project. With this option selected, XTM segments the source text by paragraphs and it displays in XTM Workbench each source segment multiple times. There is a recommended translation followed by the set number of alternative translations, all of which can be completed by the translator. Each alternative translation has a field to enter a back translation. Use the comments section to enter the rationale for each translation. A reviewer may choose the desired alternative translation and copy it from the alternative to recommended translation. Only the recommended translation will be used to generate the target document. The Alternative translation report can be generated and downloaded from Project Editor, Files tab, Previews. This gives you an Excel file containing all the translations, back translations and comments on one sheet.	Optional	Checkbox	Valid values: Selected Cleared The default is determined by system settings or customer settings. Note The customer settings take priority over system settings.
