Hello everybody:
I just got a project in which I have to set the 100% Match Segments into Red, and the Fuzzy ones into Blue. I did it, but whereas I am translating (of course I correct the Fuzzy Ones to be a correct translation), I get all in Red. No blue to be seen! Am I doing something wrong???
Thanks a lot.
Still a Frus-TRADOS client!!

Have you unchecked 'Update TM'?

Sorry,
what to do mean by "unchecked Update TM"???
Thank you,
Francisco
| | | | | opened/closed segments are assumed 100% | Mar 13, 2006 |
Trados assumes that when you close the segment, it is a 100% match. So all your segments become red.
To keep a colour difference between initial 100% matches and fuzzies, pre-translate the text using the colours you wish, then revert colours to unchanged before starting working on your document. This way you keep the initial 100%/fuzzy colours.
Have a good day,
Philippe

Hello:
I did as you told me, but still I do not get anything in blue, since Trados Pre-Translated only what is 100%. It does not pre-translated the Fuzzies ones. So no blue at all.
Am I doing something wrong?
Thank you,
Francisco
| | | | | Did you set the fuzzy match value in the Translate Window? | Mar 13, 2006 |
What is the x value in the box "[x]% or higher match value"?
You may want to set the value to 60 or less.
Besides, if you didn't use the TM you started with, all segments that you have already translated will be in the TM and retrieved as 100%. In such case, you should use the original copy of your TM if you kept one. Otherwise, remove the recent translations from your TM (by date/time or other setting) before pretranslating, pretranslate, change colour settings to unchanged, clean y...

Hope it makes sense. Before any segment (TU) removal from your TM, make sure you keep an uncleaned copy of your document! ▲ Collapse
