Auto-propagation settings (WebTrans)
Auto-propagation ensures that the translation of repeated segments is consistent. When it is turned on, memoQWeb always checks if the segment you translate and confirm is a repetition. If it is, memoQWeb inserts the same translation in every repeated segment in the rest of the current document or view. After you turn on auto-propagation, it's automatic.
Auto-propagation can be dangerous: Before you turn on auto-propagation, make sure that repeated segments don't need different translations in different contexts.
