Term recognition is wide/fuzzy - can I define exceptions?

Hello,

my Termbase contains the term "counter" (as in "He went to the counter to pay for the drinks"). In a sentence like "He learns to count the number of items.", "count" is identified as matching a Termbase term and I am being told that I did not use the translation suggested by the TB.

I don't want to clutter up the TB with meaningless word pairs like "count" - "zählen" in this case. 

I would like to know how other users deal with this situation. A second "fabric softener" Termbase with terms that don't really need defining but that are needed to add some softness to Studio's approach in specific cases?

    You can tighten up the verification percentage, here via Project settings (e.g. if you're working with clients' unpackaged projects or your own client-specific projects):

     Trados Studio Project Settings window showing Verification settings with a minimum match value of 70%.

    ...or here via File>Options if you work via 'Translate single document' or always create your own projects from scratch:

    Trados Studio Options window with a warning icon indicating an issue in Verification settings.

    I don't have a termbase added to my profile because I have several termbases for different clients so my settings are made at the project level.

    The default percentage is 70% but you can take it up to 100% if you want total accuracy. This won't, however, see plurals or differing verb endings.

    Play with the percentage till you find the level of accuracy you prefer.

    I should also add that the percentage refers to the SOURCE rather than the target.

    Hope this helps,

    All the best,

    Alison
