Specifying translation memory filters and applying penalties
You can create translation memory filters and then penalize translation memory 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.
