Creating TM filters
You can create translation memory (TM) filters and then penalize TM lookup results which do not match the filter. For example, if the penalty amount is set at 5%, a lookup result that is an 85% match for the document segment, but which does not match the filter, would have the penalty applied. As a result, the match figure would be reduced to 80%. You can also choose to create a filter which excludes any results that do not match the filter.

- The TM in the active file and the TMs for all other target languages in the project, go to the Projects view, select a project, and then go to . Go to step 2.
- All future TMs, go to . Go to step 2.
- A specific TM you are currently editing or browsing in the Translation Memories view, go to the Translation Memories view and then select a TM. Display the Search Details pane (if not already displayed) by selecting the View tab, and then selecting Search Details in the Information group. Go to step 3.
