Trados 2009 - TM does not detect fuzzy matches Thread poster: Johann Audouin

|---|
Hello,
I am currently working on a file and my TM does not seem to detect fuzzy matches, even though it detects and copy automatically 100% matches.
The document is an Excel file, that I opened with Studio 2009, I created a specific TM and checked the minimum match value (50%) but it only detects 100% matches.
Here is an example if it helps (I made it up, this is not the actual text):
I have a list of skills for in a video game:

I am currently working on a file and my TM does not seem to detect fuzzy matches, even though it detects and copy automatically 100% matches.
The document is an Excel file, that I opened with Studio 2009, I created a specific TM and checked the minimum match value (50%) but it only detects 100% matches.
Here is an example if it helps (I made it up, this is not the actual text):
I have a list of skills for in a video game:
- Lightning bolt level 1
- Lightning bolt level 2
After translating "Lightning bolt level 1", I should have a XX% match for "Lightning bolt level 2" but I don't. However, once I have translated "Lightning bolt level 1", if it comes up again, I have a 100% match, and it works perfectly.
I often receive Trados projects, in which fuzzy matches work perfectly well. As I created this one, I assume I did something wrong but I have no clue what I can do to fix it. I checked the forums and could not find any specific solution.
Please let me know if you know how to fix this.
Thanks in advance. ▲ Collapse

I already checked the minimum match value, it is set to 50% but I still don't have anything else than 100% matches.
In the image you provided, your TM detects that "lightning bolt level 15" is a 88% match and behaves as such. My TM does not detect it as a fuzzy match whatsoever, I really do not know why.

Does your TM contain at least the 1st segment and/or is it attached to your project and enabled?

Yes, my TM is enabled and the 1st segment is already translated.

I am still working on this project, I did not do anything but the TM now detects fuzzy matches. The good news is that it works, the bad news is that I don't know why

Did you by any chance reshuffle one or more TMs, including MT like MyMemory plug-in. I've noticed a similar issue when using TermInjector with specific replacement rules. However, with a simple TermInjector glossary, i.e.
Lighthing bolt -> Éclair

You'll get a 100% match regardless of the figures following level - see following link: http://s1360.photobucket.com/user/blieber45/media/TermInjector_zpsaf3bd413.jpg.html?filters[user]=136107018&filters[recent]=1&sort=1&o=0
I left the TermInjector % at 0% as it's not a big issue as far as I'm concerned.
One more thing, I confirmed the segments manually, right-clicked and changed Segment status to Translated, just to make sure that TermInjector would get it right but if you hit Crtl+T, you'll get the same result with a % from the Trados TM.
Cheers,
Bernard

I did not change any of the options you mentioned. I opened several TM when I opened the project, this might the source of the problem.
Anyway, I closed my project on Saturday (after working on my file). I re-opened it on Sunday, it detected fuzzy matches without any problems, even the one it would not detect the day before. It seems that I simply should have restarted Trados.
Have you tried turning it off and on again as Roy would ask...
