The Editor

The translation grid is where you spend most of your time: each row is a segment (usually a sentence or paragraph) with source and target text.

Columns

The grid has five columns:

Column	What it is
#	Segment number (row index)
Type	Segment type (depends on the file format/importer)
Source	Original text (typically read-only)
Target	Your translation (editable)
Status	Segment status (dropdown)

Editing behavior

• The grid is optimized for speed, but edits are intentionally lightweight.

• Double-click a cell to edit.

• Use Shift+Enter for a line break inside a cell (multi-line target).

Confirming & status

• Use the Status dropdown to set the segment state.

• Keyboard confirm is supported (see Editing & Confirming).

Common statuses include:

• Not started

• Translated

• Confirmed

• Proofread

• Approved

:::note If you plan to reimport into a CAT tool, do not merge/split content across segments. Segment boundaries must stay compatible. :::

Visual cues

• Tags (CAT tool placeholders and formatting markers) are highlighted to make them hard to miss.

• Spellcheck (if enabled) underlines misspelled target words.

• Termbase matches can be highlighted in the source.
