Using TM Lookup

The Translation Memory lookup is used to view TM leverage results and context search results (concordance search). 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 from the Translation tab:

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

    Using the string "caught:" searches segments ignoring case and includes matches containing any of the specified words.

  2. Click Find Source (shown in the preceding example).

    Without using a case sensitive search there are two hits as shown in the following example.

  3. To further refine the search, select Case Sensitive under, More Options, for the string Caught.

    Option

    Description

    Case Sensitive

    Filter by case.

    Exact

    Filter for only those terms that appear in the same order.

    Automatic Leverage

    Filter for terms that are matched in the glossary.

    Diff Highlight

    Highlight the difference between the term in the source and the target.

    Include Private TU (GLTMS)

    Include private Translation Units in the search.

    Rerunning the search with Case Sensitive selected returns only one hit as shown in the following example.
