Why I get lower fuzzy match when only first letter case changed?

Fuzzy matches leveraged from TM:

Trados Studio interface showing translation results with two entries. The first entry has a 66% match labeled 'Right key' and 'Chave-Esquerda'. The second entry has a 62% match labeled 'Right Key' and 'Chave-direita'.

My questions are:

1, Is this reasonable? The first letter case change will cause lower matching rate?

2, Is it possible to raising the matching rate of the 2nd match?

I have tried to remove all penalites in TM setting, and upgrade my TM(even created a new TM with only these two entries), but nothing changed. And I am using Trados Studio 2022.

  • Hi  

    Thanks for the ZIP file. I had a look at it, and I couldn’t find why, so I end up thinking that’s the way Trados Studio works. I even created new projects in both Trados Studio 2022 & 2022, and same results.

    Furthermore, I find surprisingly counter-intuitive that when comparing to Right key, the string Left key is given a higher match (66%) than Right Key (62%).

    Screenshot of Trados Studio showing a comparison of translation matches. 'Left Right key' has a 66% match with 'Chave-Esquerda', and 'Right Key' has a 62% match with 'Chave-direita'.

    I believe counter-intuitive matchings will appear only for short strings like the one above.

    Maybe   can shed some light…
