Specifying TM penalties

Use the these settings to specify how matching translation units (TUs) with formatting differences or multiple translations should be penalized.

Procedure

  1. Decide where you want to specify the TM penalty settings, by displaying the Translation Memory and Automated Translation settings page. If you want the penalty to apply to:
    • The TM in the active file and the TMs for all other target languages in the project, go to the Projects view, select a project, and then go to Project Settings > Language Pairs > All Language Pairs > Translation Memory and Automated Translation > Penalties.
    • All future TMs, go to File > Options > Language Pairs > All Language Pairs > Translation Memory and Automated Translation > Penalties.
  2. Specify penalty values for:
    • Missing formatting penalty
    • Different formatting penalty
    • Multiple translations penalty
    • Auto-localization penalty
    • Text replacement penalty
    • Alignment penalty
