Post title: Copying versus inserting

Hi Clarisa,

Thanks for your suggestion. That does solve the problem, but I am somewhat puzzled how/why to use this option. I use copy source (alt+ins) for two main reasons:
- To copy the structure of the source content (when it is complex with many tags, for example, or because the structure needs to be maintained)
- To leave a segment untranslated.
In the first case, inserting translations out of my terminology base would be handy
In the second case I just want a copy.

But anyway, thanks for helping me figuring this out. I'll try one way and the other and see what I need most.
