Editing Source Segment

The Edit Source option allows you to modify the source content of the file being translated. The original source content is stored in the TXLF and can be restored at any time.

To edit the source segment:

  2. Click TXLF Editor in the Wordfast 4 drop-down menu.
  3. Select the Translation tab.

    The file appears in the Translation window. If tags exist in the source segment, they appear in purple if they are formatting tags and gray for non-formatting tags. The first tag in a selected segment appears in red.

  4. Select a segment.
  5. Click the Edit tab.
  6. Click Edit Source in the Source Actions section.
  7. Edit the source content as needed.
  8. Click off the edited segment.

    An Edited Source icon appears in the Status column.

To revert to original source, click Revert Source in the Source Actions section.
