The client assigned me a file to work from Chinese to English, which contains a "bilingual" glossary. On the glossary, Segment 1 is an English phrase, Segment 2 is its Chinese translation. Segment 3 is an English phrase, Segment 4 is its Chinese translation. It is in this format until Segment 1000.

The client assigned me a file to work from Chinese to English, which contains a "bilingual" glossary. On the glossary, Segment 1 is an English phrase, Segment 2 is its Chinese translation. Segment 3 is an English phrase, Segment 4 is its Chinese translation. It is in this format until Segment 1000.
In the target language column, the 2 segments of each segment pairs will have exactly the same English phrase, but the client don't want the English phrase to repeat themselves. This means I may need to leave Segment 2, 4 (and all of the even number segments until Segment 1000) blank.
Is leaving a segment blank on the target language column permitted?"

Empty segments

You can't confirm an empty segment, but you can put one space in it and confirm it.
Alternatively you can leave it blank and not confirm it. If you export the document, MemoQ will ask if you want to copy the source into the empty segments.
