memoQ can show the rows in the translation editor with alternating background colors. When every second row has a different background color, it is easier to read the document, especially if there are repeated segments.
How to get here
Open a document for translation. Right-click a segment in the translation editor. Choose Customize appearance. In the the Translation enviroment – Customize appearance window, click the Translation grid tab. Then click the Alternating row colors... link.
What can you do?
Change the background of every second row
•To simply set a different color for every second row: Click the Fixed alternate color radio button. Choose a color: click the colored button. memoQ paints the background of every second row with the selected color. Choose a light color for this setting. Locked or selected rows won't show this color: The background of every locked row remains grey, and the background of every selected row remains blue.
•To set an alternate color that you can see in locked and selected rows, too: Click the Color and opacity radio button. memoQ covers these rows with a "colored veil". The background color will not change entirely: it will be modified according to the opacity setting. Choose a color: Click the color button next to Color. Then set the opacity in the Opacity spin box. Watch the Test box at the right edge: its lower half shows the effect of the selected color on white background. Choose a dark color and a low opacity value. Locked and selected rows will be recolored, too.
