Hi Elisabeth,

You have to use the drop down from the Unconfirm/Confirm All button to Confirm unconfirmed segments.

Shortcut:
Unconfirm All: Alt+Shift+Enter
Confirm All: Ctrl+Shift+Enter

Let us know if this helped.

Thank you,

John

I was able to Confirm All yesterday, not with the menu button, but with the keys. Now I regret doing that, and I want to Unconfirm All, but it doesn't work. WF seems to work on it, makes it up to about 22% on the progress bar, but then it stops and nothing has changed. I have tried to close the project and the program to no avail.

However, I am not sure that I need to regret what I did. The reason I did it, was that fuzzy matches didn't show up like I thought they should, so I confirmed all, thinking that would put the segments into TM ("Unconfirmed segments will not be written to the TM"). But when I had done that, I couldn't "commit" the confirmed segments anymore (turn them from pink to purple), which also appears to put the segments into the TM ("... commit all translations into the project TM(s)"). What's the difference between committing and confirming?

I have 4771 segments that I need to commit/confirm (or uncommit/unconfirm?) today. I have finished the translation, I just need to look it over. I think that Unconfirming All, then committing all, then confirming all is the way to go? But how do I Unconfirm All?

Have I made a a big mess of the TM?
