Do you open a file for translation as an editor?

Dear Studio 2015 users,

Do any of you open a Studio file via the "for Translation" route instead of "for Review" route as an editor? Up until now I have used "Open for Review" when I am assigned an editing task.

However, I don't quite like the default layout for the review mode among other things, and I wonder if anyone here sticks to the open for translation mode even as an editor.

If so, can you tell me how you track the segments that have been reviewed, since there is no way to differentiate from a confirmed segment and a reviewed segment?

Thank you so much for sharing your experiences!

I would suggest you to stick with "open for review" and just change the layout the way you need it to be. Studio will remember the layout in review mode (as the layout for translate and sign-off) for all the projects.

I wish there is a button in Studio that says "Apply the same layout in for-translation mode to for-review". For some reason I can never place the term recognition window as perfectly as the default settings for for translation.

when you move the term recognition, let's say, to the right of the translation result panel, sometimes it takes half of the space, sometimes it collapses all to the right. if you place the cursor between the translation result panel and the term recognition panel you can drag and adjust the separation line between the two. You'll see the cursor pointer change when you're on the right spot.

OK...I tested what you suggested and finally realized why I prefer the layout in "open for translation". Even though you can drag these translation result and term recognition windows to the desired place to mimic the layout in open for translation, it's not the same. There is a section reserved for these two windows in open for translation, with the segments starting under the section. In open for review mode, these windows would cover the top part of the segments.
Is there a way I can set these windows between the menu bar (sorry if this is not the correct term:) and the source/target segments?
Thank you again.

This how to video is very very helpful, Paul! I watched it a few times, had several trials and errors (the dropping part needs some practice to it properly), and finally set up the layout for the review mode the way I wanted it. Thank you so much for taking the time to create the video. I am sure other translators will benefit from it, too:)

I finally understood what this is all about after watching Paul's video:) I am a translator, but I found visuals are often more powerful than descriptive text.

Thanks for the video, Paul!

In Review mode, my Concordance Search window had been lost for a long time, and I've found it now!
