"Replace all" is a powerful tool Apr 29, 2006

but more often than not, using it for translating work is rather careless and, except for very specific situations and purposes, it should never be used as such.

One should always confirm/reject each individual replacement with respect to the context etc.

I have seen too many translations spoiled by an obvioulsy improper use of this tool, so I would never recommend using it unless you really know what you are doing.
