Duplicate phrases

To duplicate (clone) phrases:

• Press and hold the CTRL key and drag and drop the phrases or phrase folders you wish to duplicate into the desired target phrase folder.
• Alternatively, select the desired elements and click the Duplicate button in the main menu and select the desired target phrase folder/file in the dialog window.
• Or use the clipboard to copy/paste selected elements to duplicate them into a selected target phrase folder.

Drag & drop items in the tree by their labels not by their icons.

Phrases can also be copied across different files, including access rights settings.

Phrases that are copied from a password-protected phrase file to a file without password protection lose the password protection.

If phrases are copied from a Windows version to the phrase file branch of a PhraseExpress Mac or iOS version, data may be trimmed according to the functionality of the edition of the target version.

If phrases are copied that are being linked from other phrases, the link in the linking phrase will not be updated to the copy of the linked phrase! You will have to manually update the links.

Items cannot be duplicated in following situations:

• You do not have edit permissions (or any subfolder of that folder).
• Another user is editing the element (if using a SQL server).
• The phrase file is write-protected.

• Transfer a phrase file
