The Memsource web editor is divided in three different sections:

  • Main editing section
  • Preview section

  • Feature section

1.Main editing section:

The main editor section contains the menu bar on top, the quick access toolbar, and the bilingual document divided into segments.


The menu bar and the different commands in it are described in detail in Memsource's help page.


The quick access toolbar includes the following commands:


Bold format




There is no need to use these formatting tools, since the format of the original document will be provided with tags.

Italic format

Underlined format

Subscript format

Superscript format

Undo/RedoUndo/redo last action

Confirm segmentConfirms segment as translated and saves it into TM.

Split segmentSplits a segment in two, the cursor has to be in the source segment to split

Join segmentsJoins the selected segment with the segment below

Delete textDeletes the text in the selected segment

Copy

Copies text in the source segment to the target segment 

Insert TagInsert tags; when inserting {1>paired tags<1}, first select the text to get enclosed in tags and only then hit the Insert Tag command. In this way both tags will be inserted at once around the selected text.

Display hidden charactersToggle to display hidden characters (such as space, non-break space, new line)

Overwrite modeEnables overwrite mode (not currently supported for Chinese, Japanese and Korean)


The bilingual document includes a filter bar where you can filter either the source or the target columns by content typing the texit into the field. You can also filter by other criteria by clicking on the left-hand side arrow (see image below). You can then filter by segment status, pretranslated form, who created/modified/commented on the segment, and you can sort them by first letter, length and repetitions.

Under the filters the actual document displays in segments (rows), and includes seven columns corresponding from left to right to:

  • source text
  • target text (here is where the translation is entered)
  • Segment status: meaning not confirmed (the translation has not been imported to the Translation Memory), meaning confirmed, and meaning confirmed on the translation step but not on the editing step.
  • Translation Memory match / Machine translation: the colour of the cell is related to the matching and the number indicates the proportion (eg. means there is 101% match with the translation memory, means 99% match). This column also shows when the text has been machine-translated .
  • Next column shows whether the segment is repeated throughout the job .
  • Next column shows if the segment has been locked
  • Last column shows if there are comments on the segment. The symbol displays in grey when there is no comments () and in blue when there are comments on that segment . To add/read a comment you just have to click on the symbol.
