Asking the agent to edit a translation

In the agent console, the agent is asked in plain words to change a French translation from vous to tu. Each search card shows what was sent, with a protected name sent only as its stand-in. The agent proposes 11 edits; one is refused and the rest accepted, rows are reopened, and old text stays in History. A second job shows the agent using judgement and missing one row.

Step by step

  1. What the agent is for: you describe a change, it proposes edits

    In Agentic Editing Mode you describe a change in plain words. The agent reads the segments, decides where the change applies, and proposes edits. You accept or refuse each one: nothing is written until you do.

  2. Click the agent console button, choose Agentic Translation Editing and an AI model

    Ondelle's app texts are in French with vous throughout, and every row is confirmed. Click the agent console button. Choose Agentic Translation Editing and an AI model that is strong at agentic work. Voice lets you speak the request instead; the recording goes to the transcription provider unmasked.

  3. Type the change and click Send

    Type the change you want and click Send. The agent searches the file and reads the rows. Because every row is confirmed, it stops and asks before going on. Each card in the chat is one search, and shows exactly what was sent to the AI model. Row 8 went as Mira Koval, the profile's stand-in, never as Elsa Varnier.

  4. Reply to apply them; review the proposed edits

    Reply Apply them all in one go. The agent proposes 11 edits. Each row shows the old words struck through and the new ones marked. Row 8 is back to Elsa Varnier: the agent saw only Mira Koval, and says it read the name as female. Nothing is written to the file yet.

  5. Click R on a row to refuse it

    Row 12 is wrong. In vous pourrez vous entraîner ensemble, vous is the user and their friends, so it is plural and stays. Click R on row 12. The banner drops to 10 pending; you fix row 12 by hand later. A accepts a single row.

  6. Click Accept All & Confirm, then OK

    Click Accept All & Confirm, and OK. Until now nothing has been written. The file is written only when the review ends: by this button, by Reject All (which writes only what you accepted one by one), or by closing the banner.

  7. Check what it did, and the rows it did not touch

    Ten rows are rewritten and reopened for you to confirm. Row 8 reads Ta coach, Elsa Varnier, t'enverra… with no ⚠ badge: no stand-in survived. Row 12 is unchanged. Read the rows it did not touch too. If it missed one, say so in the same chat.

  8. Press Ctrl+H: the old text is in History

    Each accepted edit keeps the previous text in the row's History (Ctrl+H). The agent's edits are not in Undo, and nothing goes to a TM: the way back is the History, or an edit.

  9. A second job that needs judgement

    A second job: Vellarin's English says makes it possible to wherever the French says permet de. The agent proposes five rewrites and leaves rows 8 and 9, where permet really means permission or enabling. It also missed row 4, because the French says permettent, and it offers to widen its search. Read what it did not touch.

  10. Accept All & Confirm; Cancel, Clear and × explained

    Accept All & Confirm writes the five and reopens them. Cancel stops a turn that is still running; edits already proposed stay. Clear empties the chat and starts a new session. × hides the console, but not while edits are pending.

  11. What was protected: the tool cards show what was sent

    The project's anonymization profile protects the agent's traffic as it protects Translate this segment. The console shows no "masking on" sign: the tool cards are where you see what was sent.

  12. What the agent does, and doesn't

    The agent proposes; you decide, and you confirm. Use an AI model that is strong at agentic work, and check the rows it did not touch.
