Repetitions

Segments repeated within a job are labelled as repetitions. The first instance of a repetition is identified with a heavy arrow and subsequent repetitions with a lighter arrow .

Segments with Plural form are not considered repetitions.

If the Set segment status to confirmed for Repetitions is enabled, the translation of a repeated segment is automatically propagated to all subsequent repetitions. When a linguist confirms a segment that is repeated later in the document, all repetitions of that segment are confirmed.

Repetition exception

Clicking on the repetition icon crosses out the arrow to indicate an exception from the repetition. This allows the instance to have a different translation.

LQA assessment of repetitions

When flagging an LQA issue in a repetition, there must be a decision on how other instances of the repetition will be flagged. Select an option from the dropdown menu.

Disabling auto-propagation of repetitions

To disable/enable the auto-propagation of repetitions, follow these steps:

From the Settings page, scroll down to the Project Settings section and click on Pre-translation.

The Pre-translation page opens.

Or

From the Edit Project page, open the Pre-translation menu.
Click the radio button for Auto-propagate repetitions.
Click Save.

Settings are saved.

Unless option is disabled by a Project Manager, Linguists can disable/enable the auto-propagation of repetitions in the CAT pane preferences.

Repetition Use Case

Prevent linguists from editing already confirmed repetitions

After the first repetition is confirmed, segments with subsequent repetitions are auto-propagated and locked so as to be uneditable by Linguists.

To set up this use case, follow these steps:

From From the Settings page, scroll down to the Project settings section and select Pre-translation.

The Pre-translation page opens.
Under Repetitions, select Auto-propagate repetitions and Auto-propagate to locked repetitions.
Under Lock, select Subsequent repetitions.
