–Translate parts of the values if no complete translation is found
Activate this check box to apply the translation of sections. If the value is e.g. I will be translated, a translation is searched for in the following order and, if possible, parts are translated:
               I will be translated
               I will translated
               I will
               I
               will be translated
               will be
               will
               be translated
               be
If a translation is found for part of the text, this is used. The search for a translation continues for the rest of the text.

–If no translation found
Select how to proceed with values if no translation was found for them:
Do nothing:  The target parameter remains unchanged, whether or not a target parameter exists.
Store a fallback value: Selecting this option activates the Fallback value line for editing.
Create empty parameter: If no target parameter exists yet, it is created empty. Otherwise, the target parameter remains unchanged.
Copy source parameter value : The target parameter is set equal to the source parameter.

–Fallback Value
You can enter a fallback value for the target parameter if you have selected the Save fallback value option under If no translation found.

Tip: You can use Variables.
