Description |
Translation: These options affect translation memory lookups. |
|
Minimum match value |
This is the degree of match that must exist between a source document segment and a translation memory segment in order for the segment translation to be offered as a match. The default is 70% but you can make the limit higher or lower. |
Maximum number of hits |
This is the maximum number of translation memory matches that will be returned from a lookup. For example, if this limit is set at five, only the best five matches are displayed for consideration. |
Search for fuzzy matches even if exact matches found: Check this box if you want to display fuzzy matches as well as exact matches. |
|
Concordance: These values are applied to Concordance searches. |
|
Minimum match value |
This is the degree of match that must exist between the search text you have selected and the matching text fragment in a translation memory segment in order for the translation to be offered as a match. The default is 70% but you can make the limit higher or lower. |
Maximum number of hits |
This is the maximum number of matches that will be returned from a concordance search. For example, if this limit is set at five, only the best five matches are displayed for consideration. |
Search Mode: This specifies which translation sources are searched to find matches |
|
Show best matches from all translation sources |
If you choose this option, the search runs through all translation sources (translation memories and automated translation servers) to find the best matches. |
Only show matches from first translation source in list that returns matches |
If you choose this option, the search stops at the first translation source (translation memories and automated translation servers) that returns matches. |
