Use the Terminology Verifier > Verification Settings to ensure that the terms contained in the termbase have been used during translation. Only one termbase can be used.
These settings appear in multiple dialog boxes in SDL Trados Studio. Click here for more information about finding the appropriate dialog box.

Setting Description |
Verification Settings |
|
Termbase name |
The name of the default termbase is displayed here and will be used for the verification check. You can specify your default termbase on the Termbases page. |
Verification Criteria |
|
Check for possible non-usage of the target terms |
Select this to check source segments are for known terms. Where a term is found, the corresponding target segment is examined to ensure that the correct term translation (from the termbase) has been used. |
Check for terms which may have been set as forbidden |
Select this to check that you are not using any terms expressly forbidden by this termbase. The information about whether a term is forbidden comes from the termbase itself. This means it only works for termbases that have a term-level descriptive fields like Type. Type would indicate if the term was forbidden or allowed. |
Term picklist fields |
Select the descriptive field name for this termbase that indicates if a term is forbidden or allowed. |
Select forbidden values |
Select the corresponding value for the field that indicates that the term is forbidden. |
Check for terms without target term equivalent |
Select this to check source segments for known terms for which there is no translation in the termbase. When this occurs you can add the term translation to the termbase from MultiTerm. |
Minimum match value |
This value expresses the minimum acceptable degree of similarity between the terminology in the source segment and the matching terminology found in MultiTerm using fuzzy match search techniques. The higher the value, the more similar the terms must be. |
Search depth |
This value defines the number of fuzzy matches that should be taken from the MultiTerm database. Increasing the Search depth value slows down terminology recognition; decreasing the value speeds it up. You can refine the search by excluding PerfectMatch units as these have already been checked, exact matches and fuzzy matches down to a specific number. |
Segments to ExcludeYou can include or exclude specific match categories from the verification. |
|
Exclude PerfectMatch units |
Select this to exclude locked segments translated by PerfectMatch from the Terminology Verifier. |
Exclude exact matches |
Select this to exclude segments translated with a 100% translation memory match from the Terminology Verifier. |
Exclude fuzzy matches down to |
Select this to exclude some fuzzy translation memory matched segments from the Terminology Verifier. Use the percentage box to specify a percentage match cut-off point. For example, if you specify a limit of 90%, then segments with a 90-99% match will be included in the check and segments with a 75-89% match will be excluded. |
Ignore Locked content |
Select this to exclude locked segments from the Terminology Verifier. Segments can be locked and unlocked by right-clicking on the segment in the Editor window and selecting Lock Segment or Unlock Segment from the shortcut menu. |
