Translation Memory and Automated Translation > Penalties

SDL Trados Studio compares the formatting of the two source segments (either the translation memory or the document source) and in case those two do not match (for example, there is a missing HTML tag), the set penalty points are applied.

Same process as for when the Missing formatting option applies, just that this time the formatting is different for the two source segments (for example, a <b> tag instead of a <i> tag in an HTML source file).

There is more than one exact translation memory match for the document source segment.

SDL Trados Studio recognizes that the document source text is the same pattern as a date, time, number or measurement match in the translation memory, but with different values.

SDL Trados Studio uses the document date, time or measurement and substitutes it in the translation from the translation memory by applying the correct target language format for that element.

The translation it provides has this penalty.

This penalty is only applied during auto-substitution. Specify if dates, times and measurements are auto-substituted on the Auto-Substitution page.

Specify auto-localization patterns on the Dates and Times and Measurements page.
