Hi all,

I have run into a rather frustrating issues. I'm working on a 10,000 word document with quite a bit of repeating phrases.

Hi all,

I have run into a rather frustrating issues. I'm working on a 10,000 word document with quite a bit of repeating phrases. Unfortunately, after a while the TM is suggesting matches in the SL instead of the TL. There are still matches shown in the TL but I have to scroll down for that and it will insert the English text into my translation not German, which is not what I want (I work from English to German). I had a play with the TM-Settings yesterday because I wanted to decrease the match threshold to help with my translation and it worked a treat until this happened. So before all worked fine. Did I accidently cause this? How do I get rid of the English matches?

Tia.

English segments in the TM? Nov 27, 2018

Hi Annett,

if the TM suggests matches in the source language that might mean that there are confirmed matches in the TM which are the wrong language, i.e. that haven't been translated but copied into the target text and confirmed. If these matches show up first it is because they have a higher match value.

I think you might have to delete those matches manually from the TM. Open the TM in the Translation Memory View, find a good search term ("the"?) and search for it i... See more
Hi Annett,

I think you might have to delete those matches manually from the TM. Open the TM in the Translation Memory View, find a good search term ("the"?) and search for it in the target text and then delete all those segments that are the wrong language.

I can't think of a better way without actually looking at your screen.

I hope this helps.

Viele Grüße
