Hi there

My clients want to send word document for translation where for example headlines have length limitations. They are used to indicate the max length behind a headline. E.g. "Great News!" (max 25 chars)

There's no general length limitation such as +20% or 200 chars per Segment in their files.

Is there a way to bring the max length of selected segments into the editor?

Best regards, Sandra

  Hello Sandra,

  thanks for the question.

  It is possible in the new editor to set size constraints per segment.

  See image below:

  Hope it helps.

  All the best

  Hi Wojciech

  However, how do clients set the length restraints? The Option you mention above is thought for translators, right?

  Thanks anyway!

  Hello,

   

  what a quick follow up :-)

  The option is rather meant for project managers.

  Right after importing the file into Wordbee you can open each file in Wordbee editor and set size constraints if needed.

  All the best
