What can you do?

  • Overwrite fuzzy matches

    Use Overwrite inserted fuzzy matches below a match rate if your document already contains some fuzzy matches from earlier pre-translations.

    Then, select the percentage value of the match rate. During pre-translation, memoQ overwrites Pre-translated segments with a lower match rates.

  • Use domain adaptation settings

    • Skip segments that have no lookup results - Tells memoQ AGT to skip segments that have no TM or TB matches at all.

    • Minimum match rate for TMs and LiveDocs - Sets the lowest match rate that should be used. Matches below this rate won’t be considered.

      Term base matches are always sent to memoQ AGT.

    • Don't send more matches to AGT than - Fill in You can decide how many matches memoQ should send to memoQ AGT.

    • Prefer term base hits over translation memory and LiveDocs hits - This option tells memoQ AGT to give priority to exact matches from your term base instead of translations from TM or LiveDocs corpora.

      Terms are often shorter than translated segments, so they can get less attention in the LLM prompt. To help memoQ AGT uses the term base properly, check this option.

    • Omit short terms covered by longer ones - This option avoids sending short, less relevant terms to memoQ AGT if they’re already part of longer terms.

  • Set formality

    Choose the tone you want memoQ AGT to use in the translation:

    • Formal - For professional or polite texts.

    • Informal - More casual and conversational.

    • Default - Uses your project’s default formality setting.
