Hi Josje,

Thank you for your feedback on SDL TMS. I'm not 100% clear on what you would like SDL TMS to do in this case; could you be a little more specific. I'm not sure whether you want to see which files provided the PerfectMatch leverage or whether you want to be able to search for a file/segment in the SDL TMS archive. Could you provide some clarification on the requirement?

Thanks,

David

See from which older job the matching comes from

It would be really handy in various situations if we as PJM's would be able to see from which older job the matching is coming from.

For example, You upload a job in TMS and get full 100% matches but would like to see if you can get Perfect Matches for the client. Therefore you need to know the old job to check how the filename is called. You try to search for a project with a simalar name - but it doesn't always give you the results that you are looking for.

Another example, The client is warning you that the job should have a large number of matches - but when you see the wordcount in TMS you also see a lot of fuzzy's. You want to know in that case what the old project is so you can show the client what is the difference in the files.

While I understand that this would be difficult since TM leverage could come from everywhere, I would normally download the project TM that is generated during pre-processing and contains all TM leveraged for that job. That project TM contains various metadata for each segment that could tell you what TM and file (Source File) that a segment came from. Part of the Source File path contains the job ID which would allow you to search through TMS (likely archived jobs) to find the history of the job. This was fantastic! However, when the project TM switched to SDLTM format (previously MDB) that data was lost and is no longer included. Bring that data back and I think we have what we need here.

I am not sure whether this helps, but when I download the translation memories, I can see the file names and dates (in the form of time stamp) in the TMX. However, having such a report will be much easier.

Thanks!

Best,

HUseyin

Hi David, I want TMS to show me from which older job the general matching is coming from. So for example that TMS is saying 99% of the matching is coming from Job 110022. In most cases I upload a job and see that it has a very large amount of 100% matches - I can help the client by Applying Perfect Matching to be (A) Consitant + (B) financial advantage - but therefore I first need to find out what is the previous project.

This would be very helpful and also ensure that really the correct file is matching,so we would improve our quality!
