Translation passport and guide
The passport describes the book, the reader of the translation and what must not be lost. The guide holds the decisions for this book: the narrator’s voice, the characters’ speech, humour, cultural references, rhythm. The language norms are the general rules of the target language. Every chapter is translated according to these documents.
- Open “Passport and guide”. The machine builds the passport and guide after you approve the glossary.
- The documents are split into blocks in three parts: “Passport”, “Guide” and “Language norms”. Select a block — it opens for editing on the right and saves by itself.
- Rebuild block rewrites only that block; your edits in the others stay. Rebuild all… builds the documents again from scratch.
- When everything suits you, click Accept passport and guide — the machine translates the trial chapter.
