Configure a Translation Memory

To configure a translation memory:

  1. Click Translation Memory in the New Project Preferences group.
  2. Select Write 'exact' matches to TM to commit 100% matches to a TM.
  3. Select Write 'unedited MT' to TM to commit unedited machine translated matches to a TM.
  4. Select Write 'unedited fuzzy' to TM to commit unedited fuzzy matches to a TM.
  5. Select Write 'unedited autopropagated fuzzy' to TM to commit unedited autopropagated fuzzy matches to a TM.
  6. Select Copy source when..., to copy the source to the target segment when there is no match and the TM is leveraged.
  7. Select the Fuzzy Match Threshold percentage.
      Note:

    This percentage specifies the TM leverage limit for a fuzzy match. For example, with a threshold of 75%, the application marks all segment translations below a 75% match as 'No match' segments.

  8. On Report Settings, select Words or Segments to designate how the analysis report calculates match percentages, then configure how the analysis report calculates internal fuzzy matches.
