Yep... you need to add the names to your variables list on your Translation Memory.  You didn't tell us which version you're using so this is from Studio 2021:

Dear Paul,

Thank you very much for your answer, but I think I expressed my question wrongly.

I work with files that contain lots of same names, but with different numbers (catalog number)
My point is, that in the segments like those:

The number was copied from the source (stay the same) but the names were translated from TM (e.g. vis >>> schroef).

Can such an effect be achieved?

Now TM often searches for a match by numbers and sets inaccurate hits (match 70%) where e.g. only one of the numbers matches and the name is completely wrong.
Or, as in the illustrated example, TM substitutes the same names with similar but different numbers.

I would be very grateful for any help. 

Many thanks,

Natalia Rega.

Set the minimum match value higher, i.e. to 80 %

Hi Natalia Rega

I think if this was me I'd look at segmenting this file in a different way first of all so that the content is split into different segments.  For example, if I have this:

I can change the segmentation rules and get this instead:

Then I can handle all the numbers in one go and filter them out so I only have this:

In effect... this:

I don't know what chars are in your file, so I assumed you have tabs between the numbers.  So I created a new rule for segmenting on tabs like this:

Thank you! This solution looks promising.

Can same or similar segmentation rules apply to .mif and Excel files?

Best regards,
