Document Viewer

Document Viewer

The Document Viewer is the linguist’s tool for viewing, searching, and accessing an entire document within the Workbench.

To access the Document Viewer, open a document in the Workbench, and select View > Document Viewer from the menu.

At a glance, the document viewer provides a side-by-side overview of each source/target segment in the document.

• Quickly glean what has/has not been translated.
  Black text is translated; gray is not.
  
  
• Find specific words or phrases and then open the segment in the Workbench.
  Press CTRL + F to use your browser’s find feature.
   

• Compare different versions of a translation from one phase to another.
  Clear markup shows what has changed between any two phases of the translation process.

Compare Translations 

Easily evaluate changes between any two versions of a translation with the Document Viewer’s Diff Tool.

For example,

• Compare machine translations with human translations (to see how much work was done by the translator).
• Compare initial human translation with final human translation (to evaluate translation quality).

To use the Diff Tool,

1. Open a document from the task list.
   
   
2. Access the Document Viewer. Go to the top of the page and select View > Document Viewer.
   
   
3. Access the Diff Tool. From the Document Viewer, go to the top of the page and select View > Diff Tool.
       
4. Using the drop down menus at the top of the page, select the translation phases you wish to compare.
   
   
5. In the middle column, simple markup displays, indicating changes.
   1. Strikethrough = deleted text
   2. Underline = added text
   3. No markup = unchanged text
