Using this dialog, you can edit a term pair in a term base directly from the translation document. You can edit terms both to local and remote term bases, unless the term base is read only. This dialog has a short, a medium and an extended view. You can switch between these views by clicking the More >> button to expand or the Less << button to shrink the dialog, but you cannot switch back to the simple view after you have extended it as its bottom section is now incorporated in the longer views. If you click OK, memoQ will memorize the view used, and will offer the same view next time you invoke this dialog.
Short view Medium view (this is the default) Extended view How to beginRight-click a term base hit in the Translation results pane of the translation grid, then, from the popup menu, choose View/Edit. The medium view of the Edit term base entry dialog appears. This topic describes the extended view only because it contains all items from the other three views. List of term versionsThe list of term versions shows all source and target language versions of an entry, but you can only edit the selected source and target entry in the editing interface. Click the term you want to edit or navigate to it using the arrow buttons and edit it in the editing interface. • • • Entry-level data interfaceFor every language, you can specify entry-level data for the term. Every term can have a single note, no matter how many language versions it has. Enter or correct a definition in the appropriate definition field and click the Add button or the Change button to insert the changes into the term base. Matching tab:
Here you can set the applicable matching sensitivity of the selected term base entries. The way you should use this section is the same as it was described in connection with the simple view of this dialog. •Matching: Use this drop-down list to set the applicable prefix matching sensitivity of the selected term base entry. You can choose from the following options: oFuzzy: Use this value to get hits independently of prefix or suffix matching. In case of German, for instance, you have "Mutter" in your term base. With the Fuzzy setting, it also finds "Mütter". German has a lot of composita like "Festplattenspeicherplatz". When your term base contains "Festplatte" and "speicher", it will be highlighted in the source cell containing the word "Festplattenspeicherplatz" o50% minimum: Use this value to set the prefix matching sensitivity of the selected term base entry to permissive. This is the default setting. In case of project memoQ will find both project and projects, but it will not find projectapplication. oExact: Use this value to set the prefix matching sensitivity of the selected term base entry to insensitive. In case of project memoQ will find project but it will not find projects and projectapplication. oCustom: Use this value to allow wildcards in the term base. Use the pipe (|) to specify the beginning of a variable part in a word, or use the asterisk (*) to specify that anything can come after the last character. If your term is Wassert|urm, memoQ will find Wasserturm and Wassertürme but it will not find Wasserschutz. You can enter several words with pipes and asterisks. For example bankovn|í operac|automate will retrieve bankovních operací and bankovními operacemi as well.If you enter at least one pipe or asterisk in the term, this setting will automatically switch to Custom. Regardless of the settings, memoQ will not find any hits where the selected term base entry is not at the start of the expression, i.e. it is not a prefix of the expression. •Case sensitivity: Use this drop-down list to set the case sensitivity of the selected term base entry. You can choose from the following options: oYes: Use this value to set the case sensitivity of the selected term base entry to sensitive. Either the term contains small caps, capital letters or both, later it will be offered as a translation result only if the same word, strictly typed in the very same way, occurs in the source document. For example, if you create a new term base entry for the name Will, it is worth setting its case sensitivity to 'Yes' as you probably do not want it as a translation result every time a segment is written in future tense. oPermissive: Use this value to set case sensitivity to No for small caps and Yes for capital letters in the source text. This is the default setting; it means, for example, that you enter the word it and its translation to the term base, and memoQ will offer this translation when it, It or IT appears in the source text. However, if the source text contains IT as the shortening for Information Technology, you do not need to check the large number of hits containing the word it or It as memoQ will only present translation results that contain the abbreviation in very same way. oNo: Use this value to set the case sensitivity of the selected term base entry to insensitive. No matter how the term is typed in the source text, the results will include the same term written either in small caps or in capital letters, or both. Case is simply not relevant with this setting.
