The Editor Working space 

Anchor
Editorspace Editorspace

In this area you will be performing your active work as a translator/reviser.

When the documents are imported into the CAT editor, the source text is automatically divided into segments according to the text segmentation rules of your project (to know more about how to set them, go to the Segmentation (SRX) Rules page).

The header of the editor working space

The top part of the working space conforms the header, which gives access to the statistics panel  (top left corner) and the column properties (top right corner).

This area also contains the headers of each column, where the titles gives information about the nature of the content of the rows below.

Right below the icon, we can find the column containing segment references (Column Zero) which may display additional meta information (we will see the details in the segment view). 

The columns

In the editor, the segments will always be displayed in columns, which you can hide or display to your own needs. 

Column (re)order:

 Next to the statistics icon and by default, you will have the following column sequence:

• the first column to be displayed will be the source text, which is marked with a dot.

Then other columns will follow:

• The second column will usually be the target text you will be working on and
• other additional columns may be loaded, depending on your predefined layout. For instance: 
  
  • other existing target languages (translation layout) or
  • the revisions column (revisions layout).

Column management

Always keep in mind that you can decide:

• which columns you want to have directly available or
• reorganize the columns to suit your needs and move them right or left.

You can do this in several ways:

One-by-one (column options)	one-by-ona and All at once (column manager)
on the top right icon of each of them (at header level)	available under the top right corner of the working space
Options available: Remove column Move left/right  Change language	Options available: add language column (rolldown menu) column manager with all possible options available Info title Reminder + Drag and drop to set in a specific order

Segment view
 

Each row represents a segment. Anytime you open one segment, it would pop up from the editor letting you know that you are in editing mode. Then you can modify the text or leave comments to other users, for instance.

Each segment is divided in different parts. In this case, we will take the example above, which has 4 parts.
