Hi

Even though I have a 100% match in my TM, Tag Editor does not offer this automatically on the Target text translation bar. Is because of tags problem?

For example:
The source is
Preparation for Use

With using Concordance, the text can be shown, but how can I make Tag Editor to do that?

Kindly advise.

Thank you.

Best Regards,
Fiona

Tags? Aug 1, 2008

This could be due to differences in tags in the source and the target, or perhaps penalties.

I suggest you lower the "Minimum match value" in Options-Translation Memory Options-General. Try with a value as low as 50%, if it works you can try to increase it until you find a value that works for you (I normally use a value between 65-80% depending on the TM).

You can also adjust the penalties in Options-Translation Memory Options-Penalties.

Minimum match value = 35% Aug 4, 2008

Thanks Åsa Campbell.

I have adjusted the "Minimum match value" to 35%, but still can not get it.

May i know what is the usage of penalties?
