TM and TB don't really work while translating Tibetan to Chinese

Hello,

I'm currently trying translating Tibetan with SDL 2017, but was encountered with a few problems.

1. TM: Fuzzy matches only show 0% and 100% matches.
2. TB: The corresponding results won't automatically pop out while translating.

Is it because the software doesn't recognize this language very well or are there other possible reasons?

I think the software would be a great help to my Tibetan translation projects now (and maybe also in the future). So I will be very grateful if anyone could offer any suggestions. Thanks in advance!

    This sounds a little like a combination of not knowing how the software works, and have expectations that are perhaps unrealistic.

    Are you referring to pre-translation or during interactive translation?  If it's pre-translation then the problem is most likely due to the default pre-translation settings which are 100% or nothing at all.  Perhaps yopu can confirm, or just change the settings for pre-translation in the options.

    Are you referring to autosuggest?  Have you got a termbase and test text we can look at?  It might be easier and faster to look at this over skype to get you started.  Drop me an email at pfilkin@sdl.com if you'd like to do this?

    Regards
