Is there anyway to insert fuzzy matches quickly in the editor?

JULIAN HERNANDEZ

I am working with a huge memory with lots of fuzzy matches. However, I can't see a way to have those fuzzies inserted automatically or at least to copy them with a shortcut straight into the editor cell (such as Ctrl+T for 100% matches).

The method I am using is quite time-consuming: I go to the results window, select the text, Ctrl+C and then Ctrl+V in the editor window. Am I missing something? Is there no other way to do this is more efficient way?

Thanks in advance,

Julián

    Hi Julian,

    Probably a couple of things going on here worth a discussion.  The first is that Ctrl+T should work for fuzzy matches too.  The second thing is that if you have checked "Apply best match after successful lookup" in File -> Options -> Editor -> Automation then the fuzzy, or best match available should be automatically inserted anyway.

    The third thing would be that if none of these work for you and yet you are still seeing a match then perhaps you are actually seeing a concordance result and not a TM lookup?

    The fourth thing would be that if you are using Studio 2015 then you would be able to enter anything showing up in the results window just by starting to type them.  The new AutoSuggest makes us of your TM and will populate with TM lookups, fuzzy matches and concordance results.

    Regards

    Hi Paul,

    Thanks for the info. I think the key is what you point out: I am seeing the Concordance Search window instead of the Translation Results window. I understand the Concordance Search opens if no results are found. The thing is that I've got 97% or 99% match in the TM, and the Translation Results window doesn't open, but the Concordance does (showing 97% or even 100% coincidence) , so I cannot use Ctrl+T (or Ctrl+Alt+F3) to get the fuzzy match.

    I don't understand why this is happening. I have tried unchecking "Perform check if TM lookup returns no results" in Options - Editor- Concordance Search Window, but then I get neither TM lookup nor concordance.

    Thanks,

    Julián

    Remember that a 97% Concordance match is not the same as a 97% Fuzzy match. If you're certain that there are high fuzzy matches in your TM, you could pre-translate the document and instruct Studio to populate fuzzy matches using a percentage threshold by using Batch Tasks -- Pre-translate - Pre-translate Settings -- and choosing whatever percentage you'd like for the Minimum match value.

    You could also check that the Lookup checkbox is checked for the TM you want to use.

    Hi Julian,

    It's beginning to sound to me as though you have lost your TM results window.  I have seen this before, especially when trying to customise your windows. Try going to View -> Reset Window Layout and this might resolve the problem for you.
