Tune TM performance

Tune the performance of a TM from the Translation Memories view > Tune.

SDL Studio GroupShare performs the re-indexing and recomputation tasks in the background, leaving you free to do other actions. Monitor their progress in the Background Tasks view.

Fuzzy index statistics

Words that occur very frequently in translation units (TUs) are not useful for fuzzy indexes. Typically these are words like a, the, to.

Recompute fuzzy index statistics removes the 1000 most frequent words from the fuzzy indexes.

This can make a difference in performance for large TMs. If the TM has less than 50,000 TUs, it will not make a noticeable difference.

Re-index translation memory

This re-indexes the TM from scratch: it goes through each TU, and finds the tokens (words), and then computes the fuzzy indexes.

Do this, for example, if you enable recognition of dates or variables after you change token recognition.

This option includes the previous option (Recompute fuzzy index statistics).

On large TMs, re-indexing can take a long time.

Advanced tuning

This is in the Translation Memories view, under Edit.

Trade off speed versus accuracy. This changes the minimum match score: when it is reduced, the fuzzy search optimizer narrows its search; if increased, the search is broadened.
