# Settings Reference

> Every setting in TextSetu, grouped by where it lives, with defaults and effects.

Every setting in TextSetu, grouped by where it lives, with what it does, its
default, and what happens when you change it. Settings pages are organized into
**cards**; toggles in most cards **save automatically**, and turning one **off**
asks you to confirm because some changes are destructive.

***

## Project settings

Open a project → **More → Settings**.

### General

Edit these fields and press **Save**.

| Setting           | What it does                                                                                                                                          |
| ----------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Name**          | The project's display name, shown across the dashboard and project lists.                                                                             |
| **Description**   | Optional summary to help your team understand the project.                                                                                            |
| **Key separator** | The character used to render keys as a nested tree (default `.`), e.g. `home.cta.title`. Display/organization aid only — it doesn't change your keys. |

### Translation Workflow

Auto-saving toggles.

| Setting               | What it does                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                             | Default |
| --------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------- |
| **Approval required** | Turns on the [approval workflow](/docs/guides/approval-workflow): edits by non-approvers are saved as **proposals** (pending review) instead of publishing. **Turning it off** publishes everything directly and **discards any in-progress proposals** (they're finalized as approved). | Off     |
| **Enable QA checks**  | Runs structural [quality checks](/docs/guides/quality-checks) while editing — flags HTML-tag, number/placeholder, and whitespace mismatches against the source. Turning it off stops those warnings.                                                                                     | On      |

### Translation Assistance

Shown only when the organization has Translation Memory / Glossary enabled.
Auto-saving toggles.

| Setting                    | What it does                                                                                                                                                            |
| -------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Use Translation Memory** | Suggests previously translated strings from the org's [translation memory](/docs/guides/translation-memory) while translating. Off = no TM suggestions in this project. |
| **Use Glossary**           | Suggests approved [glossary](/docs/guides/glossary) terms (and runs glossary QA) while translating. Off = no glossary suggestions/checks in this project.               |

### Branching

Auto-saving toggles. See [Branches](/docs/guides/branches).

| Setting                        | What it does                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                           | Default |
| ------------------------------ | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------- |
| **Enable branching**           | Allows creating [branches](/docs/guides/branches) — isolated copies of the translations you edit and later merge into main. Turning it on reveals the **Branches** tab. **Turning it off permanently deletes ALL branches** and their changes (confirmation required). | Off     |
| **Protect main branch**        | Blocks **direct edits to the main line** — every change must go through a branch and a merge. Use it to guarantee nothing lands on main without review. Off = anyone with edit rights can edit main directly. Only applies while branching is on.                      | Off     |
| **Require approval for merge** | Only **approvers** may merge a branch into main, adding a review gate to the merge itself (separate from per-value approval). Off = anyone who can merge may merge without sign-off. Only applies while branching is on.                                               | Off     |

### Danger Zone

* **Delete Project** — permanently deletes the project and all its keys, values,
  languages, branches, and history. You must type the project name to confirm.

***

## Glossary settings

Open a glossary → **More → Settings**.

### General

Edit and press **Save**: **Name** and **Description**.

### QA Checks

Each check has a **severity** you pick — **Off**, **Warning** (highlights the
cell), or **Error** (blocks saving). Auto-saves on change; switching to Off warns
first. See [Quality Checks](/docs/guides/quality-checks).

| Setting              | What it does                                                                                                          |
| -------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Term consistency** | Flags when the source contains a glossary term but the translation doesn't use the approved translation of that term. |
| **Forbidden terms**  | Flags when a translation uses a term marked **forbidden**, and points to the preferred alternative.                   |

### Workflow

| Setting               | What it does                                                                                                                                                                 |
| --------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Approval required** | Non-approvers' term-translation edits are saved as proposals until an approver accepts them. **Turning it off** discards in-progress proposals and finalizes current values. |

### Danger Zone

* **Delete Glossary** — permanently deletes the glossary and all its terms,
  translations, and history. Type the glossary name to confirm.

## Translation Memory settings

Open a translation memory → **More → Settings**.

### General

Edit and press **Save**: **Name** and **Description**.

### Matching

Controls how stored entries are matched and suggested. Has its **own Save**
button. See [Translation Memory](/docs/guides/translation-memory).

| Setting                     | What it does                                                                                                                                                                                          |
| --------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Source language**         | The language TM entries are written in (must be one of the TM's languages). Changing it to another existing language prompts whether to also **move entry data** to follow the new source ("rebase"). |
| **Minimum match threshold** | Fuzzy matches scoring below this percentage (40–100%) are **not** suggested. Higher = fewer, closer matches. Default 75%.                                                                             |
| **Match penalties**         | Points deducted from a match score when the source differs only by **Case**, **Whitespace**, or **Punctuation** (0 = no penalty). Tune how strict near-matches are.                                   |

### Workflow

| Setting               | What it does                                                                                                                                                      |
| --------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Approval required** | Non-approvers' entry edits are saved as proposals until an approver accepts them. **Turning it off** discards in-progress proposals and finalizes current values. |

### Danger Zone

* **Delete Translation Memory** — permanently deletes the TM and all its entries,
  translations, and history. Type the TM name to confirm.

***

## Organization settings

Open **Settings** from the org area (owners/admins).

### General

| Setting  | What it does                                                 |
| -------- | ------------------------------------------------------------ |
| **Name** | The organization's display name (shown in the org switcher). |
| **Logo** | An image shown in the org switcher and settings.             |

### Predefined Tags

Org-wide tags suggested when tagging translation keys, so tagging stays
consistent across projects. Projects can add their own tags on top.

### Custom Languages

Define languages that aren't in the built-in list (owner only) with a **code**
(2–10 chars) and a **display name**. They appear in every language picker across
the org and all share one standard icon.

### Translation Memory

| Setting                       | What it does                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      |
| ----------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Enable Translation Memory** | Makes [translation memories](/docs/guides/translation-memory) available to every project in the org. On by default for new orgs. **Turning it off permanently deletes ALL translation memories** and their data — it runs a danger-style confirmation where you type the org name, exactly like deleting the org. |

### Glossary

| Setting             | What it does                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              |
| ------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Enable Glossary** | Makes [glossaries](/docs/guides/glossary) available to every project in the org. On by default for new orgs. **Turning it off permanently deletes ALL glossaries** and their data — danger-style confirmation (type the org name), like deleting the org. |

### Danger Zone

* **Delete Organization** — permanently deletes the org and everything in it
  (projects, glossaries, TMs, members). Owner only; type the org name to confirm.
