Table 17. Fuzzy matches settings

Setting

Description

Search for fuzzy matches, even if specific matches are found

By default, if there is an ICE or a 100% leveraged match, XTM Cloud does not search for a fuzzy match.

You can change this behavior by selecting one or both options:

  • ICE.

  • Leveraged.

Display

95-99% fuzzy matches

For each category of fuzzy matches, you can specify if and when the match is displayed to the Linguist:

  • Yes – Fuzzy matches are always displayed to Linguists.

  • Only if its approval status is higher than the ICE or leveraged match

  • Only if its XLIFF:doc status is higher than the ICE or leveraged match – This option is available if the TIPP setting has been enabled (for details, see General system settings).

  • Only if its approval and XLIFF:doc statuses are higher than the ICE or leveraged match – This option is available if the TIPP setting has been enabled (for details, see General system settings).

  • No – Fuzzy matches are never displayed to Linguists.

85-94% fuzzy matches

75-84% fuzzy matches

Populate target with

95-99% fuzzy matches

For each category of fuzzy match, you can specify when XTM Cloud should automatically enter it in the target segment:

  • Always, fixing inline differences – in this case, all inline tags will be automatically entered at the end of the target segment.

  • Only if inlines are identical.

  • Never.

85-94% fuzzy matches

75-84% fuzzy matches

Number of matches to display

You can set a maximum number of fuzzy matches which are displayed in XTM Workbench, in the Matches docked panel for a single segment. The options are:

  • 1.

  • 2.

  • 3 (default).

  • 4.

  • 5.

If a segment contains one different number, substitute the number &and try to promote Fuzzy match to Leveraged

If the only difference between the current source segment and the one from the TM is just one number, when you select the Permit checkbox, XTM Cloud inserts the correct number and upgrades the fuzzy match to a 100% leveraged match.

The setting works when:

  • there is only one number in a segment and this number differs the current source segment from the one from the translation memory.

  • the decimals in the current source segment are separated with full stop or comma, e.g. 10,5 or 10.5.

  • the currency or measurement units come after or before a number in the current source segment and are written without space, e.g. 10cm, $15, $10,50.

The setting does NOT work when:

  • there are two or more numbers in a segment.

  • a number in the current source segment is a combination of digits and letters, e.g. 43AB32.

  • a different character is used to separate digits within a number, e.g. 1'000'000, 1'000'000,50, 10 000.
