Workbench Actions
This page will give you a preview of all the actions that you can take while translating or reviewing translations within the Workbench. This page is tailored towards actions that involve the act of translation, not actions like modifying shortcuts or changing the view of the Workbench. It includes links to additional documentation when more details are necessary.
Workbench actions are not permission-based. If an action is not available to you, please contact your project manager.
Action | Description | New Enterprise Shortcut |
|---|---|---|
Add Glossary Entry | This allows you to add the highlighted word or phrase as a Glossary Entry.

Approve all Segments | This will approve all the segments in the reviewer's task. This is ONLY recommended when the reviewer has gone through each segment to make sure it has been translated correctly.
