Conduct a Translation Memory Lookup

A translation memory (TM) lookup or concordance search looks for specific source segment text in a translation memory. To view search results for both source and target segments, use the TM Lookup tab in the Editor pane.

To conduct a TM lookup or concordance search:

Search for a word or phrase by entering it in the TM Lookup field. Then, to conduct a search of both source and target, press Enter. Instances of the search term are highlighted in the Editor pane, along with its bilingual equivalents. To conduct a more specific search, click Find Source or Find Target.

   Note:
You can also select a word or phrase in the segment in the TXLF Editor view and then click Concordance Search from the Translation tab, or press F8.

   Note:
Instances of the search term are highlighted in the Editor pane, along with its bilingual equivalents. To conduct a more specific search, click Find Source or Find Target.

   Note:
You can reorder the columns of the TM Lookup results. That reorganization remains, even after you exit the software.

(Optional) To refine the search, select More Options and select a check box from the drop-down list.

Option	Action
Match Case	Select to filter by upper and lower case.
Exact	Select to filter for only those terms organized in the same sequential order.
Automatic Leverage	Select to automatically update target content when moving to a new segment.
Diff Highlight	Select to highlight the difference between the submitted segment and the TM source segment.
Include Private TU (GLTMS)	Select to include private segments or translation units (TUs) when searching a remote TM.

The refined search results for the word or phrase you selected are listed on the TM Lookup tab of the Editor pane. You can use the results of your search in the related target segments.
