Glossary and memory suggestions

Compare terminology alternatives and approved translation memory matches for the selected segment in either editor.

Segment resources is in the right panel of both editors, below Retranslate, for the selected segment. The same panel is available for editable PDF paragraphs in the Translation Editor. Protected PDF content remains read-only.

Compare glossary alternatives

• The Glossary tab looks for exact source phrases in your own glossaries with the same language pair. Each result names its glossary and shows the source term, target term and notes; different translations for the same source are flagged for review.
• Found in document segments lists up to 30 occurrences per term, with navigation. Save current edits before moving to another page of the Translation Editor.
• Preview with this term retranslates only the selected segment with that alternative, replacing any conflicting term and keeping the other enabled glossary terms. It requests a new model translation and is subject to normal usage limits.
• Accept saves the suggestion as a draft for further review; Discard leaves the translation unchanged. Choosing an alternative does not edit the glossary or replace terms elsewhere in the document.

Review translation memory matches

The Translation memory tab shows approved entries for the document language pair, with the memory name and source document where available. TM must be enabled for the document and in your settings, and requires Translator Pro or above. Multiple translations of the same source can appear separately.

• The percentage measures source text similarity. It is not a translation quality or confidence score.
• Compare source wording shows the differences. Gold marks wording in the current source; blue marks wording in the memory source.
• Number/date differences and changes to common negation words trigger review hints. These checks are not a complete semantic review.
• Preview translation opens a suggestion without changing your target. Accept applies it as a draft; Discard cancels the preview.
• Results respect your minimum match setting and show up to 20 matches from a bounded candidate search. Use concordance for additional searching. Segments longer than 6,000 characters require a shorter concordance search.

Save a terminology choice

Under Glossary in Segment resources, choose Save choice for this segment. The choice belongs to your account and this source segment. It is reused for normal retranslation previews when glossary is enabled, without automatically changing or approving the existing translation. An explicit Preview with this term temporarily takes priority. A saved term prevents exact TM reuse from bypassing that instruction.

Your terminology choice history shows the latest 100 selections and clears, including a snapshot of the entry and library name at that time. These personal preferences are separate from shared project history. Saved choice · Clear removes the preference without deleting its history. Deleted, forbidden, changed or inaccessible entries are not reused; choose a current entry again. Changes to the source segment also invalidate the old choice.
