Using a Trados Translation memory for fuzzy matching

Procedure

  1. Click File > Options and select the Translation Helpers > Fuzzy Matching page.
  2. Under Translation Add-in, enable the Trados Studio entry. This option is available if you have installed Trados Studio on your computer.
  3. Click on Setup.
  4. The dialog for editing the translation memories is similar to the dialog in Trados Studio. Add an existing translation memory with a compatible language pair. See SDL Trados Studio.
  5. Back in the Options dialog, make sure that the newly created translation memory is selected in the provider list.
  6. Close the Options dialog.
  7. In the project window, open a translation list by double-clicking on it.
  8. Mark an untranslated string and click Home tab > Translate > Find Fuzzy Translations.
  9. If translations are now found that are similar to the searched string, these are displayed in the Translation results window. The differences between the source text found and the searched source text are shown in color.
  10. Double-clicking on a fuzzy translation copies the text to the translation list. In general, all the translation will need now is some editing.
