Monolingual Preview is a feature of Lilt Translate that allows linguists to preview all confirmed or accepted segments of a document as formatted text. This allows linguists to quickly check for and fix formatting issues. It also allows linguists to view the target text in the context of its neighboring segments without the accompanying source text.

Watch this video to get an overview of how Monolingual Preview works:

Preview mode

To open preview mode in Lilt Translate, click the View tab and select Preview mode (shortcut: Ctrl+Shift+P).

  • Edit a segment: Double-click on a segment to be taken back to segment edit mode with the selected segment brought into focus.
  • Exit preview mode: Click View>Preview mode to return to segment edit mode.
