Autopropagation

Answered

Hi everyone,

Sorry if this question has already been asked, but is there a way to set autopropagate to only go downwards through a file? Currently, it seems that segments also autopropogate upwards which has been causing some issues. 

For instance, if an identical segment needs to be translated differently based on context, updating that segment changes not only all subsequent identical segments, but previous ones as well. Please let me know if there is a setting I change for this, thank you!

Best,

Stefan

  Hello Stefan,
  
  Thank you for reaching out to us. There is indeed a setting that lets you auto propagate segments without overwriting them if a translation already exist. You'll find this in the gear icon situated at the top right-hand side of the Editor.

  

  This should solve your issue with auto propagation also applying upwards.
  
  Hope that helps!
  
  Kind regards,
  Laura

  Thank you so much, Laura!

   

  Do you know if translators can edit that setting themselves or does this need to be done by the project manager? 

   

  Best,

  Stefan

  Hello Stefan,
  
  Glad to hear this was useful :)

  Sure, this is something the translators can set themselves as it is an individual preference. Only global preferences are restricted to platform administrators.

  Kind regards,
  Laura
