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?

  • Hi 

    I see what you mean.

    BTW, the verification setting that was posted just now by  has to be set for each termbase listed in Project settings.

    Also, I should also have answered your second question regarding a 'softer option' using a second termbase.

    You can use as many termbases as you like and the results from each for the active segment will appear in the Term Recognition window in the order which you select here:

    Trados Studio Project Settings window showing Search Order options under Term Recognition settings with 'Search directionally until a matching term is found' selected.

    However, Studio will only verify (as you type if you have that set* or when you run a verification) with the first one on the termbases list in Project Settings.

    This means you have to repeat term verification with each individual termbase.

    Currently, unless there's an app I don't know about, we can only run term verification with one termbase at a time.

    All the best,

    Ali :)

    *under File>Options you can turn on or off verification on manual confirmation of a segment

    Trados Studio Options window with Verification settings, highlighting the 'Enable verification on manual confirmation of a segment' checkbox.
