There is no forum for Dummies and Technically Impaired, so I am osting my dummie question here.

I have received a project (several files) that has to be translated with SDL Lite, a program I have very little experience with.

There is no forum for Dummies and Technically Impaired, so I am osting my dummie question here.

I have received a project (several files) that has to be translated with SDL Lite, a program I have very little experience with.

Now, the word count given by the client is X, while I get a total wordcount of Y, using the Statistics option. The difference is about 4000 words.

I asked the client and he explained that the files had been converted using autopropagate function, which means I will not have to edit 100% matches.

Memory was supplied, but as far as I can see, it is empty (for example, when I use concordance search for a word "the" or "use" or the like, nothing appears).

My question is, are these 100% matches repetitions what we call "repetitions" in Trados, or they must be already translated and included in the memomory supplied by the client?

Thanks a lot in advance.

P.S. I did read the help files, which I found very UNhelpful indeed, and I serached the forums but did not find any answers. ▲ Collapse

How to proceed Oct 14, 2005

Hi Tina,
It means that the repetitions will be copied automatically by SDLX.
You should proceed as follows:

go to tools -> options -> autopropagate -> check "enable", mark 75%, mark "first segment"

This will start propagating repeats within the text, so that they show up already translated. You do not need to confirm them.
