Understanding Processing Option Space Constraints

For each item in the Source Tab Page or the fields in the Source Tab Page, a fixed amount of space (40 bytes) is available for the target text. Because translations usually require more space in most target languages than they do in source languages, you might have to abbreviate the translations. As you type a translation, the Processing Options Translation Tool keeps track of the number of bytes that are used. When you exceed the 40 bytes allotted, the cursor stops, preventing you from entering any more characters. When this happens, either abbreviate the translation or use another term.
