Changing a Target Text 

Prerequisites

You can change a target text in the proposal pool in the Proposal Pool: Editing dialog box. You can access this screen as described in Accessing the Proposal Pool.

You can only change a term if you have a translator status higher than the status of the term itself, or if you have Coordinator status. For more information, see Translator Status. You can, of course, also change texts that you have created yourself.

Procedure

  1. Place your cursor on the existing term and click on the Change line icon.

    2. The Change Target Text dialog box appears.

  2. In this dialog box, enter the new term in the line New <text type> and choose Continue.

    3. The system now displays your entry as the new term.

  3. Save your entries.

Remember that every change in the proposal pool has consequences for translation and might mean an increased workload for other translators. For example, if you define a new system standard, the existing system standard translation will no longer be consistent with the proposal pool and each occurrence of this translation might need to be changed throughout the system. A change to the application standard will mean the same for your area.
