Hello,  

It sounds like you're experiencing an unusual issue with negative values appearing in the fuzzy match percentages in Trados Studio 2024. Here are some steps you can take to troubleshoot and potentially resolve this issue:  

**Step 1:** **Check Fuzzy Match Settings**  

- Go to Project Settings > Language Pairs > All Language Pairs > Translation Memory and Automated Translation > Penalties.  

- Ensure that all penalties, including the Missing Formatting penalty, are set to 0. This can help eliminate any unintended deductions that might be causing negative values.  

**Step 2:** **Review Translation Memory (TM)**  

- Open the Translation Memory you are using in your project and search for the source segments that are showing negative fuzzy match values.  

- Check if there are any discrepancies in tags or formatting between the source and target segments. Correcting these mismatches can help improve the accuracy of fuzzy matches.  

**Step 3:** **Adjust Minimum Match Value**  

- In Project Settings, navigate to Language Pairs > All Language Pairs > Search.  

- Set the Minimum Match Value to a lower percentage (e.g., 70%) to see if this resolves the issue. This adjustment can help in retrieving more relevant fuzzy matches.  

**Step 4:** **Test with Different Projects**  

- Since you mentioned that this issue does not occur in all projects, try creating a new project with similar settings to see if the problem persists. This can help identify if the issue is project-specific.  

**Step 5:** **Check for Software Updates**  

- Ensure that you are using the latest version of Trados Studio 2024. Sometimes, bugs are fixed in newer releases, so checking for updates can be beneficial.  

If these steps do not resolve the issue, it may be helpful to gather more specific examples of the negative values and any error messages you encounter. This information can assist in further diagnosing the problem.
