Project template editor – Project details: TM and Terminology
This section describes TM and Terminology settings that you, as a Project Manager, can use while editing a project template in XTM Cloud.
Setting | Description | Mandatory/Optional | Type | Valid values | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Use the selected customer’s | XTM Cloud automatically stores TM and terminology in the project customer's resources. When a project is created, XTM Cloud uses the project customer’s TM and terminology for matching. Use this setting to decide which resources of additional customer(s), selected in the Select customers setting, should be used in projects created on the basis of this template. The setting will be displayed at project level. The option that you select will be the default, but the project creator can select a different option for their project. | Mandatory | Radio buttons | Valid values:
| |
Select customers | If required, select other customers, to automatically select their TMs and/or terminologies to be used in projects created on the basis of this template. The setting will be displayed at project level. The option that you select will be the default, but the project creator can select a different option for their project. | Optional | Multiple selection | Predefined list of customers available in your XTM Cloud instance. Use the chevron right icon | |
Permit use of Non-approved memory | This setting is displayed if your XTM Cloud Administrator has enabled it at system level (for details, see the general Matches settings). Select the Permit use of Non-approved memory checkbox to permit the use of non-approved TM in a project, when a Project Manager creates it on the basis of this template. This setting does not apply to a non-approved TM created in the current project. This TM will be returned even if you have not selected the Permit use of Non-approved memory setting. Linguists will see these TM records in XTM Workbench even after project reanalysis. This setting does not apply to internal matching cases, such as fuzzy repetitions and 100% repetitions. They are displayed to users even if the Permit use of Non-approved memory checkbox is cleared. The setting will be displayed at project level. The option that you select will be the default, but the project creator can select a different option for their project. | Optional | Checkbox | Valid values:
The default is specified in the system settings (if the template is Global) or customer settings (if the template has been created for a particular customer). | |
Permit editing of ICE segments | This setting is displayed if your XTM Cloud Administrator has enabled it at system level (for details, see the ICE match settings). When you enable this setting, you permit Linguists to edit all completed segments populated with In-Context Exact matches that are inserted in the translations they are working on in XTM Workbench. The setting will be displayed at project level. The option that you select will be the default, but the project creator can select a different option for their project. | Optional | Checkbox | Valid values:
The default is specified in the system settings (if the template is Global) or customer settings (if the template has been created for a particular customer). | |
Change ICE matches from Non-approved TM to Completed | This setting is displayed if your XTM Cloud Administrator has enabled it at system level (for details, see the ICE match settings). If you deselect the Permit use Non-approved memory setting, described above, this setting will be displayed, but inactive. Select this setting to set ICE matches from non-approved TM to Completed during project analysis. The Linguist will not need to confirm them in XTM Workbench. This setting will also work for segments automatically populated with an ICE match while a Linguist is working on a file in XTM Workbench. For example, if a Linguist selects a certain segment, this segment and the two next ones become active, and XTM Cloud updates a match list for them. If one or more of these segments get an ICE match, it will be inserted in the segments automatically, and the segments' status will be set to Completed. If a Linguist manually selects ICE match from the Matches docked panel, this setting will not apply, so the segment status will not automatically be set to Completed. The setting will be displayed at project level. The option that you select will be the default, but the project creator can select a different option for their project. | Optional | Checkbox Radio buttons | Valid values for the checkbox:
The default is specified in the system settings (if the template is Global) or customer settings (if the template has been created for a particular customer). | |
Change Leveraged matches from Approved TM to Completed | This setting is displayed if your XTM Cloud Administrator has enabled it at system level (for details, see the Leveraged match settings). Select this setting to set leveraged matches from approved TM to Completed during project analysis. The Linguist will not need to confirm them in XTM Workbench. This setting will also work for segments automatically populated with a leveraged match while a Linguist is working on a file in XTM Workbench. For example, if a Linguist selects a certain segment, this segment and the two next ones become active, and XTM Cloud updates a match list for them. If one or more of these segments get a leveraged match, it will be inserted in the segments automatically, and the segments' status will be set to Completed. If a Linguist selects a leveraged match from the Matches docked panel manually, this setting will not apply. The setting will be displayed at project level. The option that you select will be the default, but the project creator can select a different option for their project. | Optional | Checkbox Radio buttons | Valid values for the checkbox:
The default is specified in the system settings (if the template is Global) or customer settings (if the template has been created for a particular customer). | |
Change Leveraged matches from Non-approved TM to Completed | This setting is displayed if your XTM Cloud Administrator has enabled it at system level (for details, see the ICE match settings). If you deselect the Permit use Non-approved memory setting, described above, this setting will be displayed, but inactive. Select this setting to set leveraged matches from not approved TM to Completed during project analysis. The Linguist will not need to confirm them in XTM Workbench. This setting will also work for segments automatically populated with a leveraged match while a Linguist is working on a file in XTM Workbench. For example, if a Linguist selects a certain segment, this segment and the two next ones become active, and XTM Cloud updates a match list for them. If one or more of these segments get a leveraged match, it will be inserted in the segments automatically, and the segments' status will be set to Completed. If a Linguist selects a leveraged match from the Matches docked panel manually, this setting will not apply. The setting will be displayed at project level. The option that you select will be the default, but the project creator can select a different option for their project. | Optional | Checkbox Radio buttons | Valid values for the checkbox:
The default is specified in the system settings (if the template is Global) or customer settings (if the template has been created for a particular customer). | |
Set Non-translatables to Finished | This setting is displayed if your XTM Cloud Administrator has enabled it at system level (for details, see the Segment status settings). Select this setting to set non-translatable text to Completed during project analysis. The Linguist will not need to confirm them in XTM Workbench. If a segment is marked as non-translatable, while a Linguist is working in XTM Workbench, this setting will not apply. If a Linguist translates a segment which, during project analysis, has been marked as non-translatable, this segment's state qualifier will still be Non-translatable. The setting will be displayed at project level. The option that you select will be the default, but the project creator can select a different option for their project. | Optional | Checkbox Radio buttons | Valid values for the checkbox:
The default is specified in the system settings (if the template is Global) or customer settings (if the template has been created for a particular customer). | |
Term extraction | This setting is displayed if your XTM Cloud Administrator has enabled it at system level (for details, see the Terminology options). When you select this setting, XTM Cloud extracts a list of candidate terms as an additional process during the project analysis. These terms are saved to an Excel spreadsheet. Project Managers can download it from the Project list by selecting the context menu icon If your XTM Cloud Administrator enabled terminology extraction at system level, but you have NOT selected this setting for a project template and neither did the project creator, Project Managers can still generate and download the candidate terms. However, in this case, terms are only extracted at their request. They can generate and download a candidate term list from the Project list by selecting the context menu icon The setting will be displayed at project level. The option that you select will be the default, but the project creator can select a different option for their project. | Optional | Checkbox | Valid values:
The default is specified in the system settings (if the template is Global) or customer settings (if the template has been created for a particular customer). | |
Only use Approved terms | This setting is displayed if your XTM Cloud Administrator has enabled it at system level (for details, see Terminology options). Select this setting to only use terms with valid translations (Approved status) for your project. The setting will be displayed at project level. The option that you select will be the default, but the project creator can select a different option for their project. | Optional | Checkbox | Valid values:
The default is specified in the system settings (if the template is Global) or customer settings (if the template has been created for a particular customer). | |
Disable term decoration | This setting is displayed if your XTM Cloud Administrator has enabled it at system level (for details, see Terminology options). Use it to disable highlighting of terms found in the source language in XTM Workbench. You can still select a word and use the context menu to add it quickly to the Terminology. The setting will be displayed at project level. The option that you select will be the default, but the project creator can select a different option for their project. | Mandatory | Dropdown | Valid values:
The default is specified in the system settings (if the template is Global) or customer settings (if the template has been created for a particular customer). | |
TM language variant penalty profile | This setting is displayed if your XTM Cloud Administrator has enabled it at system level (for details, see the general Matches settings). Any TM entry that matches the criteria in the penalty profile will be penalized and the modified match will be displayed in XTM Workbench. NoteThe TM language variant penalty profile supersedes the project TM penalty profile, but only works for language pairs in which at least one language is a variant language. If neither of the languages in a language pair is a variant language, the TM language variant penalty profile will NOT apply. In such case, the project TM penalty profile will apply, if it has been enabled in the project. Example 27. The TM language variant penalty profile usage If you have created a project with Japanese as a source language and German (Austria) and Korean as your target languages, the TM language variant penalty profile only applies to the Japanese => German (Austria) language pair. In the case of the Japanese => Korean language pair, the project TM penalty profile applies, if it has been enabled on the project. The setting will be displayed at project level. The option that you select will be the default, but the project creator can select a different option for their project. | Optional | Dropdown | Valid values:
The default is specified in the system settings (if the template is Global) or customer settings (if the template has been created for a particular customer). | |
TermWeb template | This setting is only displayed if TermWeb has been selected as your terminology source and TermWeb templates have been synchronized. Select the required TermWeb template for your project template. | Optional | Dropdown | A predefined list of TermWeb templates. | |
Highlight segments populated with a language variant match | This setting is displayed if your XTM Cloud Administrator has enabled it at system level (for details, see the general Matches settings). When you select this option, target segments populated with a TM match for a different variant are marked in XTM Workbench with the icon indicating variant language The setting will be displayed at project level. The option that you select will be the default, but the project creator can select a different option for their project. | Optional | Checkbox | Valid values:
The default is specified in the system settings (if the template is Global) or customer settings (if the template has been created for a particular customer). | |
Hide repeated segments | This setting is displayed if your XTM Cloud Administrator has enabled it at system level (for details, see the Repeats settings). A source text might contain the same text multiple times. When you select this setting, XTM Workbench hides repeated segments when repeats exceed a percentage of a file specified in the Activate when repeats exceed X % of a file setting. In that case, only the first occurrence of a repeated text is displayed in XTM Workbench, for a Linguist to translate. The segments containing the repeated text are automatically hidden in XTM Workbench. When the Linguist translates the segment that contains the first occurrence of the text, the translation is propagated to (inserted in) all the hidden segments too, in the background. The feature also applies to cross-file repetitions in which the same text is repeated across multiple files in the same project. The setting will be displayed at project level. The option that you select will be the default, but the project creator can select a different option for their project. | Optional | Checkbox | Valid values:
The default is specified in the system settings (if the template is Global) or customer settings (if the template has been created for a particular customer). | |
Hide repeated segments | Activate when repeats exceed X % of a file | This setting is displayed if you have selected the Hide repeated segments checkbox. Use it to set a percentage value for the Hide repeated segments setting. When the specified threshold condition is met and the project is being opened in XTM Workbench, a filter called All segments except repeats is triggered automatically. The filter hides repeated segments but displays all other segment types, including the source of repeats. The feature includes cross-file repetitions. Repeated segments are automatically hidden in XTM Workbench and then silently propagated to all subsequent repetitions. The filter can be deactivated in XTM Workbench and activated again, but it is not available for projects in which the Hide repeated segments option has not been selected by the Project Manager. | Mandatory if you selected the Hide repeated segments checkbox. | Text field | Numeric (percentage) The default is specified in the system settings (if the template is Global) or customer settings (if the template has been created for a particular customer). |
