Edit Source: Normally, you would not modify source text. But with this command, you can. It is useful when you need to correct a typo or a mistake in the source segment, so that the translation memory will have the correct source text. Shortcut key: F2.

Lock/Unlock: Locks the selected segments if at least one of them is not locked. Unlocks the selected segments if all of them are locked. Shortcut key: Ctrl+Shift+L.

• Assembled Hit: Inserts the translation result assembled from fragments, if there is one. Shortcut key: F4.
• Insert Next Auto-Translation: Inserts the next auto-translation result. Auto-translation results get to Translation results when there is a match or two for auto-translation rules in the source cell. These appear in green.

  Change Current Hit: Changes the entry that belongs to the selected match in the Translation results list. Works if the selected entry comes from a term base or from a translation memory. A menu appears (the example is for a term base hit):

Confirm: Confirms the current segment, saves the translation in the working translation memory, and moves to the next segment. Shortcut key: Ctrl+Enter. If you need more options, click the Confirm label below the icon. A menu appears:

• Confirm: Confirms the current segment, saves the translation in the working translation memory, and moves to the next segment. Shortcut key: Ctrl+Enter.
• Confirm Without Update: Confirms the current segment and moves to the next segment, but does not save the translation in the working translation memory. Shortcut key: Ctrl+Shift+R. You must confirm segments using this command when there is no working translation memory in the project.
