User interface

When you start translating a document, the Tilde Terminology window will appear at the bottom of the screen. You can easily move it to a different place to better suit your needs.

• Open a document in the editor view to start translation.
• You will see a new window has appeared at the bottom of the editor view.
• Grab it by the title bar and drag it to any place in the editor view. It will snap in automatically.
• Should you close the window, it can be brought back again by going to the View tab and clicking on the Tilde Terminology icon in the Information section. 

 

Translation

The Tilde Terminology plugin automatically analyses the active segment in your document. The identified term candidates and their translations are available in two ways:

• A list of identified term candidates and their translations appears in the Tilde Terminology window. You can right click on any term entry to view its details on the Tilde Terminology website.
• Translated term autosuggestions will appear as you begin typing in the target segment. 

 

Advanced search

By default, you get translations from all available collections and in all domains. It is often a good idea to filter search results by a specific domain or collection.

• Click on the Select domain link on the bottom of the Tilde Terminology window or select the Terminology Configuration ribbon item in the Home tab.
• Use the Domain dropdown list to filter search results by a specific domain.
• Specify a Collection type to show terms only from public, EuroTermBank or your collections.
• To select a specific collection of the selected collection type use the Collection dropdown. 

Note: The collection list contains only those collections that match the source and target languages of the document. For example, you are translating a document from English into German, and under the “My collections” collection type you will see the collections from your projects from English into French.
