Hello Xavier C.,

It seems like you're having trouble with term recognition in Trados Studio, specifically with plural nouns and different verb tenses. Here's how you can improve term recognition:

Step 1: Open Trados Studio and go to "File" > "Options" > "Language Pairs" > "All Language Pairs" > "Termbases" > "Search Settings".

Step 2: In the "Search Settings", you will find an option called "Recognize inflected forms". Make sure this option is checked. This will allow Trados Studio to recognize different forms of a word, such as plurals or past tense verbs.

Step 3: Click "OK" to confirm the changes.

Step 4: Restart Trados Studio to make sure the changes are applied correctly.

Please note that term recognition in Trados Studio is based on the language resources and settings you have. It may not always recognize all forms of a word, especially for languages with complex morphology. However, enabling the "Recognize inflected forms" option should improve the recognition of plural nouns and different verb tenses.

I hope this helps! If you have any other questions, feel free to ask.

Best regards,

Well... that is a wonderful hallucination from TradosAI and I do wish this were true!  But it's not.

The only solutions, apart from adding all the different forms (which might not even be feasible) that we have at the moment are these:

1. try working with the Language Cloud terminology instead of MultiTerm as this has a "Linguistic Search option.  This is a feature that searches for text or terms that are similar to or a sub-part of the search term. It can retrieve all terms based on a word's stem or root, providing the perfect or nearest match first.  So this can often do a better job of what you're looking for.
2. try working with Trados Copilot AI Assistant using the OpenAI Provider for Trados.  This supports AI working with the terms in your Termbase and can also do a better job of ensuring you get the correct form for your translation even if it's not actually in your termbase at all... it just needs to be recognised as the correct term.

You will need the 2024 version for the second part.

Does the term recognition of the AI Assistant use a different method than the normal Term Recognition?

Thank you Paul,

Actually, I am using the Language Cloud terminology. How do I activate the "Linguistic Search" option? I can't find it

Paul beat me to it! I wanted to suggest you play with the minimum match value if you use a file-based TB:

For cloud termbases you can use the standard settings or "linguistic" settings.

Standard:

Linguistic:

Linguistic should give you better results. There are some limitations with the Essential cloud package (the one that comes with Trados Studio), so make sure this is a good fit for you.

Thank you both!!

I have finally managed!

It doesn't recognise terms at all... the terms do need to be found first, so it won't help with that part.

However, we do have on our backlog some work to look at this because AI could clearly improve term recognition significantly, and now we have pretty much completed the separation of terminology from Studio (by separation I mean MultiTerm used to be completely coupled to Studio and you could not really develop anything to use all the term features in an integrated way with anything else) we can look at things like this.

Frankly we have so many exciting things to look at it's hard to know where to start!!
