Using TM Lookup

The Translation Memory lookup is used to view TM leverage results and concordance search results. This search looks for specific source segment text in the translation memory. The results show source and target segments.

Translation Memory leverage search occurs automatically, as a user navigates through the segments, to provide the users with the best possible full segment matches from the TM. It is also the only search that uses scoring to decide which match is the best.

To perform concordance search:

  1. Enter a word or phrase in the TM Lookup text box.

    In this example, the string vendor searches segments ignoring case and includes matches containing any of the specified words.

  2. Click Find Source or Find Target.

    Without using a case sensitive search there are numerous results.

  3. To further refine the search, using the string VENDOR, select Case Sensitive under More Options.
