Dear Community,
How can I see CM and 100% matches when opening a txlf (Wordfast) file in SDL Studio 2021? I am supposed to skip all CMs but the middle column does not show me any match values. All segments have the status Confirmed without any match values. Does it depend on the TM that is attached?
Thanks in advance for your help.
It can depend on the TM. Normally you would only get a match from your TM. However, you have a bilingual file from Wordfast and perhaps this has been translated already. You must have configured the XLIFF filetype in Studio to read the TXLF so perhaps we're not able to recognise the syntax used in the TXLF for match values? Or perhaps you created a custom XML filetype to handle this in which case you won't ever get any match values unless you're working with a TM.
Perhaps you can share a little more info about how yo are handling this file in Studio, and perhaps even share a couple of lines of the translation unit from the TXLF itself, or share the whole file?

Hi Paul,
Thank you for your response. I added the *txlf file type extension to my xliff file type in Studio 2021 (as explained in the Community in another thread I believe). When I created the project, the file was added as Translatable and opened fine. It was already translated. My task was to edit and skip the CM matches. The entire file had all segments marked as Translated though with no match values displayed in the middle column. So it was impossible to distinguish between CM, 100%, or newly translated segments. I could have worked in their online tool, which I was trying to avoid by downloading the file and editing it in Studio. I have already completed the edit but am still curious for any future files.
Thank you
Karin
ok - the best thing is to look inside the txlf and see how the match values are marked up. Then share the line inside the file containing that syntax. For example, in an SDLXLIFF I see this:
<sdl:seg id="65" conf="Draft" origin="mt" origin-system="en-it" percent="95">
Note the percent="95" that we use in an sdlxliff. What's in your TXLF? My guess is they are using some custom extension that we won't be able to recognise without some development work to create a TXLF filetype.
I did find a couple of TXLF files on my disk and when I look I see this:
gs4tr:engine="200" gs4tr:repscore="84" gs4tr:score="0"
Definitely custom extensions and I have no idea what they are for... and the matches don't show up in Studio. So based on the files I found it would require custom development work.

Thank you Paul. Yes, those are exactly the custom extensions I see in my txlf file as well. Thanks for clarifying about the custom development.
