I am using memoQ 8.7.19, and I am wondering if there is any way to distinguish confirmed segments that have been populated from the TM and have been edited from those that have been confirmed directly, without any editing. For instance, 99% matches sometimes can be directly confirmed, but other times require some edit. However, upon confirming them, they become green either way, and they become (apparently) indistinguishable, which increases the odds of overlooking some inadvertent mistak...

OK, I found the solution myself. Just in case it might help someone else: Say that you have a 99% match. If you edit it before confirming it, on the right-hand side panel (i.e. the one that shows matches from the TM) the first result will be the new 101% match and the second result will be the original 99% match (since they are different). On the contrary, if you directly accept a 99% match without any editing, the original 99% match is absent from the right-hand side panel (as it is identical t...

It is not as useful as having different tones (as in Trados), but it will do. ▲ Collapse
