Cross file analysis for fuzzy matches in Studio 2011 Thread poster: rcorbeil

Hi,
How does one check for fuzzy matches between files in Studio 2011?
I was hoping that the Internal Fuzzy Matching option would do the trick, but it doesn't seem to do cross file analysis.
This could be achieved in Workbench 2007 with the "Using a TM from a previous analysis" option.
As this is something I need to do on a regular basis, any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Hi,
You are on the right lines, as the "Report internal fuzzy match leverage" is the function you want. But in Tools - Options - Language Pairs - All Language Pairs - Batch Processing - Analyze Files you will find an option called "Report Cross-file Repetitions" at the top. make sure this is checked and try again. If it's an existing Project make sure you do this under Project Settings and not Tools - Options.
Regards
Paul

Hi,
Thank you for your reply.
I too thought that this would do the trick, but it doesn't. It only checks for repetitions.

I'd be very interested to hear about this as well. As rcorbeil says above, ticking "Report cross-file repetitions" does exactly what you would imagine; it reports identical sentences across all the files being analysed. "Report internal fuzzy match leverage" also does what you imagine, but on a file-by-file basis (ie., the internal fuzzy matches for each file independently).
There is, however, no apparent way to get Studio to report cross-file fuzzy matches (ie. a sentence appearing in the second file that is 97% identical to one in the first file), in the same way that the "Use TM from previous analysis" function does in Workbench.
This means that, in theory, you could have two files where the second is changed only by one word in every sentence, and running an analysis in Studio would lead you to believe that the files were entirely different, as none of the sentences were an exact match.
If there is a workaround to this, I'd be very grateful to hear it. I'd also be most interested to hear the thoughts of anyone from SDL, not only as regards the apparent lack of this function in Studio 2009/2011, but also as to the likelihood of it being reinstated in the next release.

If we have to do with several Word files, as in my current case, I think it should work to open all files in Word and copy the contents of each file into a new single file, and analyze that file.
