Improving AutoSuggest results

If you receive too many or too few suggestions from AutoSuggest during translation, you can change your AutoSuggest settings to increase or decrease the number of available suggestions.

Procedure

  1. Go to File > Options.
  2. In the Options dialog, in the navigation tree, select AutoSuggest.
  3. Change the number in the Show the suggestions window when there are X or fewer suggestions option.
    • If you have this setting very low, the suggestions window is only displayed when you have typed more characters to narrow it down.
    • If you have this very high, the suggestions window is displayed immediately and the results are narrowed down as you type more characters.
  4. Change the number in the Show the suggestions which have X or more characters option.
    • If you have this setting very low, the suggestions window may include more results.
    • If you have this very high, the suggestions window may limit the results that are displayed.
  5. If you want to include suggestions that have already been used in the segment translation, deselect Hide suggestions which have already been used.
  6. Select the checkbox next to any additional AutoSuggest providers to increase your results: Termbases, AutoSuggest Dictionaries, Translation Memory and Automated Translation, Fragment Matches and AutoText.
  7. Clear the checkbox next to the Case Sensitive option to include results from AutoSuggest that do not have matching capitalization to the word you are typing.
  8. Select OK to save your changes and to close the Options dialog.
