  • Hi I dont think you fully explained your concern when you made this post.

    But this is what I think you may be wanting to know:
    When you have many repeated segments (repetitive source) and you make a correction/update target translation - how can you be sure this change is shown to all repetitive segments?

    Example: Segments 1,3,5,7 and 9 are repetitive

    You translate segment 1 and the translation thereof is applied to ,3,5,7 and 9 thanks to a feature called auto-propagate
    But during review, you notice an issue at segment 5. You want this change to update segments 1,3, 7, 9 and not just 5. 

    If yes, then please know this is possible. Please review your auto-propagate settings under File - Options - Editor

    Trados Studio settings window showing General options with red arrows pointing to 'Enable Auto-propagation' checkbox, 'Minimum match value' input set to 100%, and 'Auto-propagate exact matches to confirmed segments' checkbox.
