Translate a whole document

The brief is checked, then a summary and every section's functional role are made in one go and checked. TM Pretranslate stores matches, and Auto Translate shows its plan (sections, segments, calls, cost) before translating section by section. All 21 segments come back in the house terms and the brief's voice.

1. Check the brief in Edit Globals: General and Style

   Before anything is sent, check the brief: Edit Globals → General holds the Project Overview and Additional information, and Style the voice (Guide I). They go with every section's translation.

   

2. On the toolbar, click Summarization and Functional Roles (entire document) and choose Process All

   On the toolbar, Summarization and Functional Roles (entire document). Choose All to make them all, or Missing to make only those not there yet.

   

3. Wait while the summary and each role are made

   AV makes the summary, then each section's role in order: six calls. Each role request carries the roles of the sections before it, so they cannot run at once. Every section bar now has a tick by its role icon.

   

4. Check Edit Globals, Summary

   Edit Globals → Summary: what the AI model will be told the document is about. Correct it here if it is wrong.

   

5. Open Section 1's pencil to check its role; Save Role if needed

   Each section's pencil opens its Globals. Section 1 sells the stove, and its role says so: promotional. Correct it and Save Role if it is wrong.

   

6. Check Section 3's role

   Section 3 is the safety warnings: prohibitions and precautions. A different role, so it is translated differently.

   

7. Click TM Pretranslate on the toolbar

   TM Pretranslate on the toolbar stores the TM's matches on their segments, so the AI model sees them. Here one: the 87% match for segment 6. No model call.

   

8. Click Auto Translate and choose Section by section

   Auto Translate on the toolbar. Section by section translates in document order, with each section's role, the summary and the sections before it.

   

9. Check the plan and click Start

   The plan before anything is sent: 5 sections, 21 segments, one with a TM reference, about 5 calls, under a cent. No warnings, because the summary and every role exist. Click Start.

   

10. Read the report

    Five calls, one section after another, then the report. Each section's request carried the English of the sections before it (Guide I).

    

11. Check the translation

    All 21 segments are translated. The brief shows most in the opening and safety sections: wherever your trail takes you, It's lightweight, while it’s lit. Segment 6 is the TM's match word for word, and the house terms hold: pan rest, gas cartridge.
