Changing the Proposal With Length Variants (SAP Library - Translation Tools for Translators (BC-DOC-TTL))

Changing the Proposal With Length Variants

Use

If you change the proposal for a target text that has length variants, the system will display these texts in a dialog box when you choose Change proposal.

Prerequisites

You can only change proposals if you have the appropriate authorization, in other words, the respective translator status. For more information, see Translator Status.

Procedure

In the short text editor, enter a target text that differs from the Best proposal.

Choose Change proposal.

The system displays the dialog box Existing Proposals, which contains the length variants that exist for this target text.

Now choose whether you want to Retain, Delete or Change these length variants.

If you choose Retain, the system keeps all the length variants in the proposal pool.
If you choose Delete, the system deletes all the length variants in the proposal pool.
If you want to change individual length variants, choose Change. The system then takes you to the proposal pool where you can maintain texts directly.

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.
