Predictive Typing and AutoPick: Shows or changes settings for predictive typing of terms, auto-translated parts, and suggestions from Muses; and settings for picking tags, numbers, terms, and other "placeables" from the source cells. Opens the Predictive typing and AutoPick window.

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.

Revert Source: Restores the original text of the current source segment. Use this after you edit a source segment..

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.

• Current hit: Inserts the selected suggestion from the Translation results list into the target cell. Shortcut key: Ctrl+Space.
• 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):

• View/Edit: Opens the editing window for the translation memory entry or term base entry that is selected in the Translation results list. Shortcut key: Ctrl+Alt+Enter.
• Delete Source Alternative: Deletes the source term from the selected term base entry.
• Add Selection as Alternative: Adds the selected target text as another term to the term base entry selected in the Translation results list.
• Delete Target Alternative: Deletes the target term from the selected term base entry.
• Delete Entry: Deletes the selected translation memory entry.

• 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.
• Translator, Reviewer 1, Reviewer 2: Sets your current role. When you confirm a segment, memoQ indicates the selected role with the Confirmed status. You cannot choose if you are working on the checkout of an online project because there your role is set by the project manager.
