TM general properties
The Translation memory view > Edit Translation Memory dialog box > General Properties tab contains the Recognize and the Word Count settings for a TM.
Recognize settings
The Recognize settings allow you to:
- enable or disable recognized tokens from the check boxes.
- enable concordance search
Enable character-based concordance search
Normally, for non-alphabetic writing systems, you need to enable character-based concordance searches.
For alphabetic writing systems, be aware of the size implications. For alphabetic writing systems, character-based concordance searching adds about 8 KB per TU. Normally you would not enable this feature if you have more than one TM with more than 100 000 TUs. Usually, therefore, you do not have character-based concordance searching on server-based TMs.
Enable target language concordance
Select this to enable concordance searches of target text.
If you enable this option, SDL Studio GroupShare indexes the TM target language segments (source language segments are always indexed).
Word Count settings
You can control how the word count engine reports words that are separated by hyphens, dashes or formatting tags for your TM.
If you enable the option to Count as one if words:
- Are hyphenated, words that contain hyphens count as single words. For example, with this enabled, "two-wheeled vehicles" counts as two words, with this disabled, it counts as three words. By default this is enabled.
- Are joined by dashes, words that contain dashes count as single words. For example, with this enabled, "two -wheeled vehicles" counts as two words, with this disabled, it counts as three words. By default this is enabled.
- Contain formatting tags, you set the word count engine to not break words that contain formatting tags.
