You can also set the length for a group of segments on one go. You just need to run a filter to have them all displayed and select the set text length constraint function, from the actions menu. Manager and administrators can even prevent users from typing extra characters when the text length has been reached ! This global setting is to be configured here. |

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) 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. |
