Topic: Alignment Penalty in Studio 2014
Poster: foremonly
I have a legacy TM that I have updated with new translations by aligning the documents with WinAlign. The .tmx from WinAlign was imported into the Studio TM. When I pretranslated my files against the TM, the 100% matches were showing up as 99% matches due to an alignment penalty. I checked my settings and realized that this feature had added to Studio and was defaulted at 1. The strange thing is that there is absolutely no documentation from SDL about this feature. I have other TMs which have been updated with tmx files from WinAlign and 100% matches populate without applying the alignment penalty. The project settings are exactly the same.
When is this alignment penalty applied?
How can I make sure this penalty is applied for documents aligned using the 2014 automatic Align tool but not for documents aligned manually using WinAlign?
Why is this penalty applied with some TMs and project and not for others even though the project settings are the same between all projects/TMs?
If someone can provide more insight on this problem, I would really appreciate it!
Thanks!
