How to handle character limits for one large Excel cell that contains multiple sentences and that is segmented in the online Editor?
...
What if character limitation has been enforced globally in the system and pre-translations available for each segment exceed the max. value?
In these cases, if pre-translations from linguistic resources (translation memories, terminology databases) exceed the pre-set number of characters defined in the text extraction parser, pre-translations will have priority, regardless of the text constraints limitations. This is also applicable when retrieving past versions of the translation from the Timeline or even when translating using batch actions such as "Translate from Memories" or copy source to target".
Translators will need to rely on the Quality Assurance feature to make any required changes to target texts prior to marking the job as completed. We recommend to make the QA function mandatory to ensure translators run a QA prior to completing their job.

Also, when character limitations have been enforced globaly (preventing users from typing) in the platform and users want to automaticaly insert text from the Translation Finder, the system will prevent them to exceed the limit defined. Examples of such actions could be:
In all such cases, the text will be cropped down to the limit of each segment. This means, segments containing subsegments will need to sum the total of characters defined by the text length constraint. If the limit is reached, it is possible that these hits won't be fully copied (or not copied at all) to the target segment of your choice. |
