I just got a big job, a dream job, actually, where I get to be creative and have fun. And then it turns out, all 20,000 words have been machine translated. I *could* of course delete each pre-translation – but with 20,000 words that would get a little annoying.
Or does the PM have to do this?

Same method Sep 15, 2020

Click on the number of the first column (1) on the left.
Hold down the Shift button of your keyboard and scroll down until the end of the document, selecting all segments.
Go to the Edit menu on the top and select to "delete target text" (Ctrl+D).

Great! Sep 15, 2020

I will keep that info for the future. The PM removed it for me while I slept, so this morning it was gone.
But thank you!
