Is it possible to hide just one part of a segment (for example like a catalogue number) for translation, in order that the rest of the segment could still be a 100% match?

Question

Hide part of a segment

Hi Anke,

What version of Studio are you using? In 2015 most alphanumeric strings are recognised which means you should get the very behaviour you want. Failing that you could add them as variables to your TM list, but clearly if you have too many this could be quite a task. You could also use the TermInjector from the SDL AppStore which would allow you to create patterns using regular expressions to identify the strings you wish to be picked up.

In Options > Editor > Auto-propagation , check the Enable Auto-propagation check box.

Hi Anke, 
 
I think, that once you have the automated translation of equal segments that they will receive a match of some kind. This is how the software is designed to work so you know what leverage you got from these segments. Auto-propagate is going to make all subsequent equal segments a 100% match. 
 
What do you want to see... no-match status so they look like new translations?
