General User Preferences

The General User Preferences allow users to define the general behavior and setup of their workspace. These configurations apply to all the jobs and documents they will be working on and are part of each user's personal preferences and are not shared with other users in the system.

Any Term matches found in the Translation Finder are directly inserted in your working segment.

Automatically adjust inline tags in the translation finder to match text to translate
