About the Freeform Editor

The Freeform Editor allows you to edit a task without saving to translation memory. The Freeform Editor is well-suited to indirect translations where a segment-to-segment translation, like that in the Browser Workbench, is not ideal. WorldServer may suggest that you translate in the Freeform Editor if, for example, the asset was edited outside of WorldServer.

The Freeform Editor opens when you click the Freeform Editor link.

You can edit the asset in the browser or download the asset and edit it offline. You can also access the Viewer and perform a terminology database search from the Freeform Editor.

Note: You must have Linkage set up before using the Freeform Editor.
