Selecting a translation memory for maintenance

By clicking on the icon, a window appears that lists all translation memories available in translate5 with the name, the language combination and the name of the client(s) for whom they have been activated. This list can also be filtered.

Use the “Select” button in the far right column to select the translation memory to be edited.

Search fields for source and target language content

Enter the content that you would like to search in the TM into these fields. Note that you can search content:

• only in the source language;
• only in the target language;
• or in the source and the target language simultaneously.

.

Both search fields come with the following two options:

• Contains: With this option, the text entered is interpreted as part of the segments to be found.
  If you enter “translation”, for example, TM segments such as “Machine translation”, “Human translation” or “I would like to order a translation” can be found with this option.
• Match full segment: With this option, only absolute matches between the text entered and the TM segment content are taken into account.
  If you enter “translation”, only those segments are found that also only contain the word “translation”.

Case-sensitive search

Tick the corresponding field in order to activate case-sensitivity for the search. Case-sensitivity applies to both, the source and target language search fields.

Search limitation by source and/or target language variant

For multilingual translation memories, i.e. those with more than one source and/or target language, these two search fields can be used to limit the TM segments that will be searched to a source and/or target language variant.

Search limitation by author

This search field can be used to limit the search to TM segments that have been created/edited by a specific author. This search field has two options:

• Contains: With this option, the text entered is interpreted as part of the segments’ author name.
  For example, you will also find segments created/edited by “Herbert” and “Adalbert” if you search for “bert”.
• Exact match: With this option, only absolute matches between the entered text and the author name are taken into account.
  In this case, only those TM segments created/edited by the author “Bert” will be found when searching with “bert”.

Search limitation by document name

This search field can be used to limit the search to TM segments that come from a specific document, via that document’s name. This search field has two options:

• Contains: With this option, the text entered is interpreted as part of the document name. For example, the document names “annual report”, “half-year report” or “quarterly report” will be found with “report”.
• Exact match: With this option, only absolute matches between the entered text and the document name are taken into account. In this case, “report” only finds those TM segments for which the document name “report” is stored.

“Delete all” button

Click on this button to delete all TM segments that show up as search results.

After clicking on the button, a window appears in which the deletion of the segments must be confirmed again or the process can alternatively be cancelled.

Search limitation by creation date

These search fields can be used to limit the search to TM segments that were created before or after a certain date. The search field “Creation date before” or “Creation date after” can be used as required. However, you can also use both fields in combination if the search is to be limited to a period of time.

The date can either be selected from the calendar that opens when you click on the icon. Use the single arrow to jump forward or backward by one month; use the double arrow to jump forward or backward by one year. Or you can enter the date directly in the format MM/DD/YYYY.

“Create” button

If you click on this button, a window appears in which a new TM segment can be added to the currently selected TM.
