Wordfast doesn't recognize matches Thread poster: Conrado Portugal

Hi there,
I don't know what is wrong with my Wordfast. After having successfully installed the programme in my two computers, I started translating. However, I noticed that the programm doesn't recognize any matches, not even 100 matches and not in any of my PCs. Did this happen to some of you already? Any help? Thank a lot

Hi Conrado,
Make sure you have the TM active (ticked, in WF options).
Have you done some translation before of the same phrases you expect to get as 100% matches, with WF?
If you have, try reorganising.
HTH,
Grace.

Sometimes reorganising a TM helps. However, I had a particular problem with RU-EN translations when no matches or wrong matches were recognised. I haven't found a complete solution to that one and just stopped using Wordfast for RU-En, while it works fine for EN-RU.

Press Alt + End and reorganize the current TM (Service).
This usually helps.
Regards

Hi Heinrich and Graciela,
yes, I tried that. The TM is active and I tried reorganizing. I even installed WF again but it doesn't help.
It was the first translation that I wanted to do with WF's help but although there were matches the programme didn't recognize them. I wrote myself some sentences with repetitions just to be sure and WF doesn't recognize matches at all....(??)

This might be a stupid question, but just in case...
did you create a new TM, with source and target language codes, saved it when prompted with a name of your choice and made sure it was ticked to make it active?
Best regards,
Grace.

Yepp, Graciela, I certainly did....that's why I can't understand what's wrong.....in both computers: desktop and laptop (!)

| Wordfast matches Ger/Port | Jun 12, 2005 |
I, too, am new to WF, but have found the following:
Perhaps your prob has to do with the lang pair. I do Span>Eng, Ger>Eng, so assume Port is like Spanish. The sentence structure in Span+ Eng is similar but completely different to German. Eg: in Ger, the verb may come at the end, with various subordinate clauses / encapsulated phrases long before it, but a decent rendering in Eng requires the verb fairly near the beginning, so of course, there is really no correspondence between the last G...

Eg: in Ger, the verb may come at the end, with various subordinate clauses / encapsulated phrases long before it, but a decent rendering in Eng requires the verb fairly near the beginning, so of course, there is really no correspondence between the last Ger (original)word and your translation. In fact, I am finding that Wordfast's desire to feed me little segments of Ger, makes me sometimes write "bitty" Eng, when it really ought to flow more smoothly. Often, I end up putting a space in a segment (to stop WF crashing) even tho' the Ger original has a verb in it. Obviously, this means that next time round, the memory may find a correspondence between 2 phrases which are not linguistically related. Curiously, I have also found that Paragraph headings ("Vorteile für Studenten"), where the word Studenten appears for the nth time are not laways recognised, either. Maybe I am not entirely au fait with the prog yet (!). ▲ Collapse
