Assignment of Stemmers to TMs

To enable stemming, stemmers need to be associated with the TM. With appropriate permissions, customers can assign stemmers to, and remove stemmers from, any TM at any time. As new languages are supported, customers can update the TM configuration to use new stemmers.

When creating or configuring a TM, the user can choose from a list of available stemmers. The user can choose a particular stemmer and language combination. Even if a stemmer can support multiple languages, the user can select for which languages to use a particular stemmer. The list of options is generated by adding a selection option for each stemmer/language pair based on the languages that the stemmer reports being able to support. (Note that this can be done regardless of whether the stemmer reports locale objects or the actual language values.)

The system prevents the user from adding conflicting entries. Only one stemmer can be associated with the TM for a given language. To change the stemmer for a given language, the current stemmer entry must be removed.

The material in this section also applies to terminology databases.
