Translation preferences are an attribute that determines how terms should be translated into target languages. This setting is also considered in machine translation suggestions and for translation orders.

Lingohub provides the following translation preferences:

  • Translate - the term should always be translated into the target language.

    • If the term translations exist for the target language, it will be suggested by Lingohub.

    • If no term translations exist, the translator should translate it.

  • Translate only with the provided translation - the term should be translated into the target language only if a translation is defined for this language.

    • If a term translation is defined for the target language, it will be suggested by Lingohub.

    • If the term translation does not exist then it is handled like “never translate”, so it shouldn't be translated.

  • Never translate - the term is never translated.

    • If a human translates this term, the quality checks will flag this action as an error.

Note: You must select the appropriate settings to get the warnings from quality checks about terms usage.
