Leverage TM

If your workflow uses a Leverage TM phase, be sure to designate which TM vault(s) it should use.

Select Language Resources

To choose which language resources to use for leveraging during the Leverage TM phase,

1. Open a workflow. (Go to Templates under the sidebar, click Workflow Templates and select the workflow you wish to edit).

2. Select the Leverage TM step from the Workflow preview. 

3. Click the Configuration tab. 

4. Scroll down to the “When the phase starts…” Rule (lower half of the page) and select the Edit icon. 

5. Scroll down to the Take these action(s) heading and check the box next to the language resource(s) you would like to include in the workflow (e.g. Check Search TM vaults…). 

6. Choose whether to use the Project Resource TM Settings or specify them in the workflow itself.

7. If you choose to specify them in the workflow: drag and drop the language resources you wish to use for leverage to the right.

   1. Search for specific vaults with the search box.

   2. To remove a TM vault or glossary, simply drag and drop to the left.

   3. Drag and drop to prioritize the Glossaries and TM Vaults in each list.

8. For each selected TM vault, 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.

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

10. Deselect targets under the Require Locale column that should match on language and ignore locale.

    1. Disabling "Require Locale" means leverage will ignore the country code of the source AND the target language when determining which TM unit to leverage to the segment rather than matching on the language and country code.

       1. When you choose to disregard the country code, it will look for the highest, most recently created TM unit of matching languages.

       2. As an example, a document translated from English, United Kingdom into Spanish, Spain may leverage an English, United States - Spanish, Mexico if that TM unit was created sooner than another matching English, United Kingdom - Spanish, Spain TM Unit.

       3. This feature is excellent for companies who are looking to save on costs and are not necessarily concerned with localizing content based on region.

    2. The targets listed here are the ones you set up in the Document Tab of the Setup phase. 

11. Save your work to finalize your changes.

Once your work is saved, any document using this workflow will utilize the language resources you selected.
