Fragment Matching works on the basis of the alignment process being able to align fragments of source and target texts with a degree of surety.  The process isn't as clever as a real person and doesn't always know with enough certainty whether or not a particular word or phrase has a matching translation.  The larger the TM, the more the subject matter is the same, the better the fragment matching... potentially.

So you won't always get suggestions for everything.

How big is your TM?  What settings are you using?  Have you got this checked in your project settings?

Thank you for answering, helpfull as usual.

My knowledge about TU Fragment has increased from when I ask this question. Now I know a sentence should be repeated in multiple TUs for the Trados`s AI to find it`s translation.

In second message, my question`s subject has changed to Whole TU. Whole TU has less settings and is active by default. Why the existing whole TU doesn`t shown in the Fragment Matches window or when I type the first letter of translation (Autosuggest)?

Did you see a message like this?

It seems explanatory?  You have the match in your TM results window.  So for example, I have a match in my TM and it's the first Autosuggest result when I'm typing.  This comes from the TM and not the Fragments:

It's controlled from here:

No, not this message, nothing found:

but this sentence:

Clinical trials include only

is a whole TU exist in it`s TM:

but this would require a fragment and not a whole TU because you are asking it to match part of a sentence, not a whole TU. So I would say the same argument applies.

In according to my last picture, you are saying, sentence:

Clinical trials include only

which is in Translation Unit number 3 is not a whole TU?

In your second screenshot it's a whole TU.  In your first screenshot, which is the one you are expecting fragment matches for it's not.  It will only be picked up if the fragment matching exercise on your TM has recognised that particular fragment within the sentence:

"In some labs result, Clinical trials include only, is written on the results sheet"

If you want to send your TM to me and your source file I'll be happy to take a look?

Thank you for answer.

You see what I see in my second screenshot, but my first screenshot is not the translation memory; it`s the editor.

I know it’s in the editor.

You say a segment in the editor should be filled by the sentence from begin to end!

So it`s name should be "Whole Segment" not "Whole TU". If both sides are whole, so it would be 100% match.

No. I’m saying that the match you are expecting is a fragment of the source. The match may be a whole TU but it’s still matching a fragment of the source.  If the software was unable to match this fragment with your whole TU then it won’t pick it up.

Why don’t you provide a screenshot of all your settings? Maybe there is scope to search deeper?
