  2. On the Advanced menu click Free Translation Mode.

    The Free Translation Compose bar and its navigation buttons appear at the top of the Main window.

  4. Do one of the following:

  5. Type the free translation in the compose bar's edit box for the current section. The current section is always highlighted in pink and has the phrase box located at its first pile.

  6. Proceed through the text using the navigation buttons.

  7. Type the free translations in the compose bar's edit box for each section of the text until the whole text is sectioned with free translations.

  8. Turn off free translation mode by clicking the Free Translation Mode option in the Advanced menu.
