Editors

Document editor

Review and edit a translated DOCX in its rendered page layout, with tables, headings, images, and segment tools in view.

The Document editor shows your translated document as a document, rendered with its layout, styles, tables, and images. Each text block on the page opens its translation in a side panel, so you edit it where it lives on the page. Available from the Translator Pro plan up.

When to use it over the Translation editor

  • When context is visual: headings, captions, table cells, callouts: text whose correct translation depends on where it sits.
  • When checking length and fit: a menu item or button label that overflows is obvious here and invisible in a segment grid.
  • For a final pass: read the document the way its audience will.

What it shows

Step by step with screenshots: Document Editor.

  • Available for DOCX. While translation runs, the page preview refreshes as segments finish. Pages stay white in both light and dark themes.
  • Selecting text on the page opens its segment in the side panel: source, editable translation, TM matches, glossary hits, QA issues and retranslation options, the same tools as the Translation editor.
  • The editing toolbar has bold, italic, underline, strikethrough, super/subscript, highlight and special characters; smart suggestions complete glossary, termbase and TM terms as you type.
  • Approved segments are stored in translation memory exactly as in the Translation editor, and the page view updates on save.

Small controls worth knowing

  • Source / target view toggle: flip the whole rendered document between the original and the translation to compare layouts.
  • Zoom: scale the document view up or down; useful for dense tables and small print.
  • Copy source / clear: one-click buttons above the editing panel to start a segment from the source text or from scratch.
  • Find & replace: the same document-wide replace as in the Translation editor.

When the document view helps

Use this view to check headings, labels, tables, and the placement of translated text. It edits the same saved segments as the Translation editor. The browser preview preserves supported document styles and structure; final pagination can differ from Word, especially with floating shapes or unavailable fonts.
