Translation memory segments

I have translated a segment which was for example: "$1,255" and it was added to my TM

Then when I translated another similar segment like "$899" i translated it and confirmed it but it was not added to the TM because of the similarity with the previous one.

Is there any way to have both segments added even though they are similar?

  • Hi  

    You've had a few answers to your question now, so I think you need to make a decision on why you want to do this.  To add to the point from Evzen, the out of the box solution in Trados is that you would translate a number once and then never need to do this again as Studio holds the information to handle future numbers already.  So if you translate this:

    $1,255

    Then these would be 100% matches and they would not be stored in the TM:

    $899

    $2,476

    If you translate this:

    It cost me $25 to buy dinner.

    Then these would also be 100% matches and only the first one would be stored in the TM:

    It cost me $271 to buy dinner.

    It cost me $3 to buy dinner.

    If you turn off the number recognition as Kelly suggested then you would never get 100% matches for these repetetive segments and each unique number would have to be stored in the TM.  You can do this, but I am wondering why you would want to do this?
