Trados Terminology settings

Determine how terms are searched, matched and displayed in the Term Recognition window from the cloud Terminology Settings page.

OptionDescription
Distance

This slider determines how far the words in a multi-word term can be spread in a sentence.

Set the slider to a lower value to have a more strict word order
Similarity

This value determines how many words in a multi-word term should match the term in a termbase.

Use higher values for more strict searching.

Minimum Score

This value sets a threshold for displaying matching terms in a sentence based on their similarity. Each time a term matches a query, a score determining the relevance of the matched term is calculated. Fine-tune this setting based on the number of results that you wish to obtain by choosing one of the following settings:

  • Exact matches - only exact matches are retrieved.
  • Same root words - only the words derived from the same root are retrieved.
  • Custom - choose your own level of control for the scoring. A score of 100 shows only exact matches, a score of 70 to 99 shows exact matches and words with the same root, and a score under 70 shows exact matches, words with same root and typos.
