Use the multi-documents work mode in the CAT editor

Overview

Managing translations across multiple documents in diverse languages can be complex. The multi-documents work mode in the CAT editor streamlines this process, so you can handle projects with various language iterations efficiently.

Access multi-documents mode in your project

Go to any document in your project

1. Open a document within your project

2. Scroll to the end of the document

3. Look for the Open all documents button at the end of the document

4. Click Open all documents to access the multi-documents mode options

The multi-documents mode options open for your project.

Select your preferred mode

Choose the option that best suits your needs:

• Open all language versions for the current document — for managing translations across different languages of the same document

• Open all documents for a specific language — to focus on documents in a particular language

• Open all documents in all languages — for a comprehensive view of your project scope

Interface changes in multi-documents mode

Once in multi-documents mode, the CAT editor interface displays:

• The total number of active documents (for example, (2) indicating two documents)

• The cumulative word count of all documents in your project

• A header indicating the specific document the displayed segments belong to

Bulk operations and enhanced functionality

In multi-documents mode, you can take advantage of these features.

Filters, search, and replace functions

• Use filters and perform searches across all documents at the same time

• Compare translations across different documents to ensure consistency

• Apply the replace feature to update translations across all project documents
