The 

Overview

With the Approve All

 feature allows a linguist to quickly approve all of a document's

Segments feature, you can approve all eligible segments at once quickly. You can approve

all

segments

from

in the

Workbench, or within the TMS on the Documents tab or Task List. 

When Would I Use Approve All Segments?

If you are finished making edits to the translation of each segment, you can use the 'Approve All' button to mark the rest of the translated segments as approved in bulk. You will still be able to make additional edits afterward if needed.

  • Optionally, check Auto-Apply Tags to automatically apply formatting tags to the document. Note: Our system makes a best guess at tag placement.  If you use this feature, tags will need to reviewed by a linguist for accuracy. 
  • Also optional is Updating TM for all approved segments. This is not recommended as it includes any updating TM from fuzzy matches and machine translation. 

    Info

    If you have any unsaved segments when you use the approve all action, they will be saved and then approved.

    Using the Approve All Segment feature

    The Approve All Segments feature takes the most current translation it can find and saves it to your phase if the previous phase is complete. If the previous phase is not complete, you can only approve segments that are completed in the previous phase unless the previous phase is complete. Unsaved translations or edits in your phase are saved by the Approve All option.

    Info

    The system automatically checks the segment and phase settings to determine whether or not to save the translation to the translation memory (TM).
