I have a document that I know for a certainty contains over 2K matches from a previous document. Both documents are in Excel 2003 format.
When I attempt to run a batch process Pre-Translate, These matches are seen as 99% and are not confirmed. This defeats the purpose of the pre-translate function.

For the settings, I have Translation Memory/Penalties set to 0, except "Multiple translations penalty" set to 1, since there are many source segments with multiple target matches.
Filters is set to 0.
Under Batch Processing, minimum match value is set to 99.
After Applying Translations:
Confirm 100% Matches is checked.
Confirm context matches is checked
For some reason, the program sees exact matches and sets them as 99%, requiring an extensive amount of time to confirm.
I went back to the original document and ensured that all filter and penalties (except multiple translations) were set to 0, updated the translation memory, then ensured the follow-on documents were set the same way, and the exact matches were still seen as 99%.
Thanks for your help. ▲ Collapse

| Check what is the cause for those 99% matches | Jul 18, 2010 |
When you open the document, the program willtell you why 1% has been deducted - this can be because of multiple 100% matches, formatting differences, spacing differences and so on. If you know the reason, then you can try to circumvent them.

TOPIC STARTER | Reason for 99% Match | Jul 18, 2010 |
Hi Jerzy,
I opened the document in the translation editor, hovered over the 99% in the center column. It gave me the data, but not the reason the segment was scored as 99%. Is there another location to check?

| In the Translation Memory Results window | Jul 18, 2010 |
or better in that part of Side-by-Side editor.
Do not hover with the mouse over the middle column, but over the TM results. The reason will be shown there.

Not generally, Jerzy.
Look here:
William, could it be that you work with 2 TMs at the same time? If so, and if the same (identical) TU exists in both of these TMs, then Studio will also apply the "multiple 100% match" penalty, although it is a not-more-is-possible match.

| Looks for me like the wrong part of the window | Jul 18, 2010 |
Again - not here, but in the Translation Memory results window, which is above the Side-by-Side editor.
But for what I see there: in the first match wrong case in the word "Projects" and additional spaces, by the second match wrong case in "Projects" again.

First to respond to hhl,
I have two TMs running, but only one has been updated and there are no multiple matches between the two TMs. Thank you for the diagnostic suggestion; I will keep that in mind in the future.
Jerzy,
I go to the terminology window and notice that the segment is listed as a 100% with a little filter funnel underneath it. When I hover over the 110% I get "Filter Mismatch Penalty (SIC FT) (-0%)" SIC FT is the name of the setting. I... See more First to respond to hhl,

Jerzy,
I go to the terminology window and notice that the segment is listed as a 100% with a little filter funnel underneath it. When I hover over the 110% I get "Filter Mismatch Penalty (SIC FT) (-0%)" SIC FT is the name of the setting. I thought I had gone back to make sure all the filters were the same, then updated the translation memory, then did a test of the same set of follow-on documents, but the segments did not come in as 100%.
Do you think the answer is to try this again, because there was something different along the way?
I will check back in @ 7 hours.
Thanks, ▲ Collapse

| The right window | Jul 18, 2010 |
@Jerzy: it's of course the right window. Could you have the changes shown in the left column displayed in the sid-by-side editor?
| | | |
It also downgrades matches if you have two TMs open, even if one isnt updating. Try closing 1 TM.

TOPIC STARTER | Time to Move On | Jul 19, 2010 |
To All,
Thanks for your help. I do believe the issue is a filter mismatch of some sort, but at this point, after trying various ways to align the filter, I have to move on and learn for next time.
Cheers,
