Improving termbase search results
Trados Studio performs a termbase search when a segment becomes the active row or you can choose to manually perform a termbase search. Settings are available to change what results are returned and also change the way that the termbase is searched to improve performance.
Procedure
- Choose where you want to modify the termbase search settings:
- For all future projects: .
- For the current project: .
- Under Search Settings, specify the following:
- Select Show recognized terms with no available translation if you want Trados Studio to display a recognized term even if the term does not have a translation in the termbase. You may want to do this if you want to add the translated term to the termbase.
- Changing the minimum match value, the search depth and the termrepetition threshold will increase or decrease the quantity of results returned.
- Setting the Display synonyms separately option to true will cause synonym terms to appear in Term Recognition. A synonym refers to multiple terms defined on the same language within the same entry, and therefore sharing the same entry ID.
- If you have multiple termbases, define the order in which they are searched under Search Order. This defines settings for manually searching multiple termbases.
- Search hierarchically until a matching term is found
- Search all termbases in parallel and group results by term
- Search all termbases sequentially and group results by termbase
