Use Leverage TM to apply new translation memory to an existing document. 

You may want to Leverage TM for a single document (or group of documents)...

  • If the current workflow does not include a Leverage TM phase. 
  • If you need to leverage TM from a vault not already used in the default workflow.
  • After the Leverage TM workflow phase is complete.

Panel

(tick) Tip: The system creates a new TM Leverage Report each time you choose to Leverage TM. This report displays the percentage of the translation can be completed with TM and is available on each document’s TM Statistics tab.

 

To Leverage TM in a document,

  1. Click to open a project from your Dashboard.
     
  2. Check the box(es) next to document(s) requiring a TM leverage.

  3. Next, go to the Actions menu (in the Documents bar), and select Leverage TM.
     
  4. In the dialog, choose which vaults to leverage.
    1. Click the check box next to Search TM vaults

    2. Then drag and drop the desired vaults to the right. 

      (tick) Tip: To remove a TM vault or glossary, simply drag and drop to the left.
      (tick) Tip: On the right, drag up and down to prioritize the selected TM Vaults.
       


    3. For each selected TM vault, leave the Leverage minimum at Exact 100%, or click the radio button to leverage lower quality matches. 

    4. To leverage lower quality matches, click the radio button and type in a percentage on the right.

    5. Optionally choose to lock Exact 100% and/or Syntax 100% matches (so that linguists cannot edit the TM matches). 


  5. Complete any other desired fields. 
    (info) Most fields can be left at their default settings. 
    (info) If you want to complete extra settings, see the table below.
