webtrans - Translation editor

This is the place where you can write, edit, or review the translation in webtrans. In the translation editor, you see the document in a two-column grid (divided into segments) - the source-language text in the left column, and the translation in the right column. On the right, webtrans shows the Translation results pane, where it lists matches and hints from the project's resources (translation memories, term bases, or LiveDocs corpora) for the current segment.

At the bottom, webtrans displays the View pane Document preview icon., where it shows how your translation will appear in the final translated format. You may need this to see your translation in context. There is no guarantee that the preview looks exactly like the final document or that it will be available at all. The webtrans translation editor is similar to the one in memoQ.
