  • When you Leverage TM, no new TM Units will be created in the 'Save to' vault unless there is a 100% Exact Match leveraged from a Vault other than the 'Save to' vault; and the 'Save to' vault does not already contain a TM unit matching the leveraged 100% Exact Match.

    6. Optionally choose to lock Exact 100% and/or Syntax 100% matches (so that linguists cannot edit the TM matches). be sure to choose the Leverage minimum and whether to lock Exact 100% and/or Syntax 100% matches.

      1. Leverage minimum determines which TM matches the match quality for TM matches that are pre-populated to the workbench. We strongly recommend that you do not choose a leverage minimum percentage below 50%. The default percentage is 95%. 

      2. Locking the segment forces linguists to take another step to edit the translation. Locked segments can also be propagated through the workflow.

    7. Set vault penalties and penalties for unreviewed TM units.
