Hi

Does anyone know how you go about accessing the \"next match\" for a TU when using Wordfast?



For example, I have a few translation memories that I have merged together. They contain TUs that I have translated differently for various reasons.



This means that the memories contain some translation units with more than one 100% match (or fuzzy match) in the memory. However, I can\'t seem to get Wordfast to suggest these alternative matches - I... See more
Hi

Does anyone know how you go about accessing the \"next match\" for a TU when using Wordfast?



For example, I have a few translation memories that I have merged together. They contain TUs that I have translated differently for various reasons.



This means that the memories contain some translation units with more than one 100% match (or fuzzy match) in the memory. However, I can\'t seem to get Wordfast to suggest these alternative matches - I can only access them by using the \"contexts\" button. Does anybody know if there\'s a command that would allow me to do this?



Incidentally, I hope this question hasn\'t been asked a thousand times before - I did also try joining the Wordfast users group on Yahoo but the sheer volume of messages meant that after about an hour of browsing through them, I hadn\'t got any closer to finding my answer!!



Thanks ▲ Collapse

Try this, and wordfast will show higher or lower matches. Look at the bottom left of the screen for extra information about which match you are showing (e.g. match 1 or match 2).
