How to remove internal fuzzy matches from a sdlxliff file?

Hi experts,
 
I have Trados Studio 2015.  One can remove the same segments from a sdlxliff file by using Export Unknown Segments but is it possible to remove internal fuzzy matches also from a sdlxliff file by using Trados or some other software?  If no CAT tool can do, we may try to do so by copying the text from a sdlxliff file and then pasting it into a MS Word as it might enhance the chances for doing so by using some other software/application/method.
 
Is it possible at all?  If not, should not Trados include this feature in its next version?
 
Thanks and regards,

  • Hi Paul,

    It appear that I have been unable to explain it to you.

    Suppose I have a sdlxliff file in which there are 50 segments out of which there are 8 segments which are internal fuzzy matches (which are not available in TM) and their match percentage varies from 70 to 99%. What I want is only one of these segments (probably the longest one) should be kept and a new file is made which contains 43 segments (42 segments which do not have any fuzzy matches + 1 segment from those 8 segments which are fuzzy matches). It won't matter if some other software/application/MS word function is required to be used for this purpose.

    I want it because I sometimes have to share work with a colleague in respect of rush projects who does not have Trados. I can remove 100% matches but I can't remove fuzzy matches and that is why, I have to pay him the full fee even if there are 90-95% fuzzy matches. On the other hand, I have to allow discount to my client for these fuzzy matches which is an additional burden on me. If I am able to do what has been mentioned in the above paragraph, I at least can translate those fuzzy matches on the basis of tmx made from the translation done by him in a two column file.

    Thanks and regards,
