Hi all!

Does anyone know how to enter terms in a TB so that they are recognized when they appear in plural for instance?
For example, I have "prise de mouvement" in my TB, but now I have a text with "prises de mouvement". Shouldn't the term be proposed on the Translation Results panel anyway?
Isn't there sort of a 'fuzzy recognition' function?

And what if I have "boîte de transfert" and the term appears in my text as "boite de transfert", without "^"?

Do you have the same problem as well?

Thanks a lot

Simple! Feb 23, 2012

(I cannot help with the problem with the special characters. It is best if you contact Kilgray's support for that.)

About plurals, it is simple: you can add an asterisk in the place where the plural can exist. Examples for Spanish:

"rubber band" - "goma elástica" (will only work for the singular forms)

"rubber band*" - "goma* elástica*" (will work for both "rubber band" / "rubber bands" and "goma elástica" / "gomas elásticas" respectively).

MemoQ doesn't have fuzzy matching for termbases, which is a pretty painful omission if you ask me. Maybe it will be added eventually.

Wonderful Feb 24, 2012

If I had a translation company I would hire you Tomás

I had no clue you can use this sort of "regular expressions". That actually solves the "^" problem as well. I just have to add it as "bo*te de transfert".

Thanks a million
Kilgray should hire you as a MQ consultant
