7.1 Look up a sentence
Look up a segment in your Felix memory and glossaries. You can select the next segment automatically, or select a segment to look up yourself.
Select and look up the next sentence
| Toolbar button |  |
| Menu command | Lookup Next |
| Keyboard shortcut | Alt + → |
Place the cursor at the beginning of the text you wish to look up, then run the command using one of the methods above. The next segment of text is automatically selected, and sent to Felix as a query. If Felix is not currently running, it will be launched automatically.
Look up the current selection
| Toolbar button |  |
| Menu command | Lookup |
| Keyboard shortcut | Alt + L |
Select the text you wish to look up, then run the command using one of the methods above. The current selection is automatically sent to Felix as a query. If Felix is not currently running, it will be launched automatically.
Tip: To extend the sentence lookup (e.g. to translate two or more sentences as a single unit), pressCtrl + →. To look up the current segment as a
translation rather than a source segment (to correct or review your translation),
hold down the Control key while performing the keyboard shortcut:
Ctrl + Alt + → to look up the next translation, and
Ctrl + Alt + L to look up the selection as a translation.
7.2 Retrieve a translation
Retrieve a translation from Felix, and automatically insert it at the cursor position.

| Toolbar button |  |
| Menu command | Set And Next |
| Keyboard shortcut | Alt + S |

The text of your translation is automatically selected, and registered in Felix as the translation for the current query. If you have already selected a segment of text, that will be registered.

When you run this command using one of the methods shown above, a dialog box appears, prompting you to enter a glossary entry number.
Enter the index of the glossary entry you desire, then click OK (or press Enter). The specified glossary translation is inserted into PowerPoint at the cursor position.
7.5 Save your translation memory and glossary
Save your translation memory and glossary files. Felix will prompt you for a file name and location if the memory or glossary is new.
7.6 Find concordance
You can find a word or phrase in your translation memory to see how you have translated it in the past. This feature is called “concordance.” To find the concordance for a word or phrase, select it and then select Felix >> Find Concordance from the menu.
7.7 Translate to fuzzy
Use this command to automatically translate all perfect matches until a non-perfect, or “fuzzy” match is found. To use this feature, from the Felix menu, select translate to fuzzy from the menu.
