Enable character-based concordance search

Select this to enable character-based concordance searching .

If the this option is selected, then as well as indexing words in a translation memory, SDL Trados Studio indexes groupings of characters within a word. This can result in more partial (fuzzy) matches and bigger indexes. For example, If you enable this option and you search the translation memory for the word Resource, your search results may include Resource, Resources and Sources. The search results include all three words because they each contain groupings of characters that are the same.

Click Next to go to the Language Pairs page of the New Server-based Translation Memory wizard.
