Anchor points

Anchor points

It is a significant advantage if we are able to identify the corresponding sentences in a translated document even we are not able to read the characters anymore (e.g. Chinese). For this reason anchor points are inserted into the document before it is sent to translation.

Natural anchor points are:

  • Images since the image name will not be translated and is unique in a document.

  • Tables.

In order not to clutter the document completely, a good practice of anchor points are:

  • Sub headlines (first two characters = '==')

  • Lists (first characters = '*' or '. ')

If we put the anchor in front of the text no control items seem to break.

The Documents with the added anchors will not be merged with the original FluxBook.
