Advanced search in the Concordance docked panel

You can use Concordance Advanced search to build complex Translation memory queries.

The following parameters are predefined and cannot be changed in the advanced search performed in the Concordance docked panel:

  • Language combination – This setting is determined by the language combination set for the task.

  • TM Resources – The Project Manager decides, the Translation Memory of which customer(s) should be used in this project.

  • Reverse matches – When the Reverse matches setting has been enabled, the search returns the match results stored for a reverse language pair than the one set in the workflow.

    For example, when the English (USA) => French (France) language combination has been selected for the workflow, this setting will return the results available for French (France) => English (USA) search.

  • Language variants – When the Language variants setting has been enabled, the search returns the match results stored for every variant of language pair selected for the workflow.

    For example, when English (USA) => French (France) has been selected for the workflow, this setting will return the results available for English (USA) => every French language variant.

    Based on the selected criteria, Concordance will search for a maximum of 50 results within one language pair, from which all duplicate entries (in which the source segments and the target segments are the same) will be excluded.

    If you have selected Reverse matches setting, Concordance will search for another maximum of 50 results for the reversed language pair. In this case, the results of both searches will be displayed as an aggregated list with a maximum of 100 entries, from which duplicate entries (in which the source segments and the target segments are the same) will be excluded.

    The Concordance search results are first sorted by:
