Fuzzy matches are counted as repetitions Thread poster: Hanne Frederiksen

Good morning everyone, I am translating a file (23,000 words) in a Studio-package with around 18,000 repetitions – at least according to my customer’s analysis plus my own. Also, again according to the analyses, there are only a few fuzzy matches (less than 10). The strange thing is that as I translate, I encounter a large number of fuzzies (from 90-99%) – several thousands. Obviously, I cannot know whether this is taken from the number of new words (5,000), or repetitions, an...

Also, again according to the analyses, there are only a few fuzzy matches (less than 10). The strange thing is that as I translate, I encounter a large number of fuzzies (from 90-99%) – several thousands. Obviously, I cannot know whether this is taken from the number of new words (5,000), or repetitions, and there is no way I can know – not even after completing the entire translation. How can several analyses of the same file show such discrepancy? I will have to work harder for less money, the way I see it. I tried to work my way around it, but with no luck. Even if I copy the column from Excel, paste it into a Word file and analyze, the result is the same. I am using Studio 2014, and the package is generated (by the customer) from an Excel file. At the moment, there seems to be no solution to this issue, so I truly hope that some can help me. ▲ Collapse | | | Have you ever tried to look for help in the RWS Community for issues with Trados Studio? | Apr 8, 2022 |

If Trados is labelling your 100% matches as 99%, I would try looking under the "penalties" Home > Project Settings > All Language Pairs > Translation Memory and Automated Translation > Penalties Try changing the penalties for formatting etc from 1 to 0. | | | To report site rules violations or get help, contact a site moderator: You can also contact site staff by submitting a support request » Fuzzy matches are counted as repetitions Protemos translation business management system | Create your account in minutes, and start working! 3-month trial for agencies, and free for freelancers!
