UpLift VS Autosuggest

Dear community!

Our translation team currently uses Studio2021, which offers the Autosuggest auto-propagation tool (available in the previos versions9 and the Uplift technology, which is supposedly an improved, constantly self-updating version of Autosuggest. The question is: does Uplift completely replaces Autosuggest or does Autosuggest still offers some advantage with respect to Uplift?

Thanks for advance for your help.

  • Thank you for the mention, Jesús. , AutoSuggest is a feature that provides suggestions from several sources, and one of those sources is upLift fragment matches (at the top of the list in the screenshot below). Other sources include termbases, translation memories and machine translation engines, AutoText and AutoSuggest dictionaries, which Jesús has mentioned in his reply. So the answer is that upLift does not replace AutoSuggest, because it is a part of AutoSuggest. When it comes to AutoSuggest dictionaries, though, you will find my opinion about it in the blog article Jesús has linked to.

    Trados Studio AutoSuggest options window showing enabled AutoSuggest with settings for suggestion window display, character count for suggestions, and sort order. Providers include Fragment Matches, Termbases, Translation Memory, AutoSuggest Dictionaries, and AutoText.

  • Dear Nora! True, I formulated my question incorrectly, however, I see that you understood what I meant:). Thank you for posting this answer and also for an excellent article which explains the topic in detail, especially for the examples that clearly show the differences between fragment matches and AutoSuggest dictionary return hits!!!! Absolutely brilliant!

    And since we are talking about all those "suggestion features" provided by Studio, could you explain, in general terms, how "Automated Translation" works...sometimes it is so bothering when the program generates (with errors!!!!) in the target segment long codes, made up of numbers or numbers+alphabetic characters. What sources are used for AT? We systematically clean our memories, deleting the TUs that contain only numbers, symbols, alphanumerical combinations, etc....

    Tell me , please, whether you prefer this answer this in a new post (I am new here, and not very familiar with the "rules"). Thank you in advance, Nora!
