Changing the Proposal Without Length Variants 

Use

If you change the proposal for a target text that has no length variants, the system will change the proposal immediately and without displaying a query or a warning when you choose Change proposal. The change is effective immediately in the proposal pool.

Prerequisites

You can, of course, only change the proposal if you have the appropriate translator status. For more information, see Translator Status.

Procedure

  1. In the short text editor, enter a target text that differs from the best proposal.
  2. Choose Change proposal.

    3. The system changes the best proposal to the target text you have entered and the change is effective immediately in the proposal pool.

  3. Save your entries.

Result

The system changes the best proposal to the target text you have entered and the change is effective immediately in the proposal pool.

As of Release 4.6B, a dialog box appears when you choose Change proposal, warning you of the number of target texts that will no longer match the new proposal in the proposal pool if you continue to change the existing proposal. To cancel changing the existing proposal, choose No, to continue with changing the proposal choose Yes.
