Memoria di traduzione

Translation Memory (TM) is a database of the source strings and their corresponding translations into different languages that can speed up the translation of the same or similar strings in your projects. The project TM is created automatically for each project. Every translation made in the project is automatically added to the project TM.

Creating TM

Besides the project TMs that are automatically created with the respective projects, you can also create separate TMs, fill them with the appropriate content by uploading your existing TMs in TMX, XLSX, or CSV format, and then assign these TMs to the needed projects.

To create a TM, follow these steps:

1. Apri le Risorse e seleziona Memoria di Traduzione.
2. Clicca Crea TM.
3. In the appeared dialog, name your TM and select a default language that will be displayed first in the table of TM records.
4. (Facoltativo) Assegna la TM ai progetti necessari. Puoi saltare questo passaggio e assegnare la TM in seguito.
5. Click Create.

Editing TM Records

Puoi modificare i registri della TM esistenti di una TM particolare o di tutte le TM disponibili.

To edit a TM record, follow these steps:

1. Apri le Risorse e seleziona Memoria di Traduzione.
2. Clicca Tutti i Registri per visualizzare i registri della TM di tutte le TM disponibili in un elenco. Altrimenti, seleziona la TM necessaria e clicca Visualizza Registri.
3. Apri un registro della TM con un doppio click o clicca Modifica.
4. Nella finestra comparsa, modifica o elimina i registri delle lingue necessarie.
5. Clicca Salva.

Downloading and Uploading TM

To download or upload TMs, follow these steps:

1. Open your project and go to Resources > TM.
2. Clicca Visualizza Registri sulla TM necessaria.
3. Clicca Scarica o Carica.

Il proprietario del progetto e i manager possono scaricare e caricare la TM nei seguenti formati di file: TMX, XLSX o CSV.

If you upload TM in CSV or XLS/XLSX file formats, match columns with the corresponding languages in the configuration dialog.

Downloading TM for Offline Management

When downloading TM from Crowdin in TMX format, you can get some additional metadata that might be useful for different usage scenarios with offline tools.

Additional TM attributes provided by translation memory downloaded in TMX format:

x-crowdin-metadata – String identifier hash. creationid – Translation author’s full name and username in Crowdin. creationdate – Translation creation date. changeid – Full name and username of the person who updated a translation. changedate – Translation update date. usagecount – Translation suggestion’s number of usages in Crowdin. lastusagedate – The last date a translation suggestion was used in Crowdin.

Often translation vendors that work in Crowdin export TMs from projects to manage (e.g., for cleaning TMs from irrelevant translations and further reimport back to Crowdin) them for their clients in various desktop applications. The TM attributes listed above allow better navigation and filtering of TM segments based on different criteria. Also, you might use cleaned and refreshed TMs to train MT engines only on product-specific data to ensure a higher quality of translations as a result.

Assegnare TM

Per assegnare alcune TM specifiche al tuo progetto, segui questi passaggi:

1. Open your project and go to Resources > TM.
2. Seleziona le TM necessarie dall’elenco.

Prioritizing TM

When you assigned a few TMs to the project, you can set the needed priority for each of them. As a result, TM suggestions from the TM with the higher priority will be displayed in the first place.

The default TM priority value is set to 1. A higher number has a higher priority (for example, 5 has a higher priority than 1). For example, if you assigned four TMs to your project, you can set the priority of 4 to the most important TM, the one that should be used in the first place. And respectively set the lower priorities to other TMs.

To set the priority for TMs, follow these steps:

1. Open your project and go to Resources > TM.
2. Imposta la priorità preferita per le TM assegnate dall’elenco a tendina rispettivo.

Condivisione TM

Using the shared TMs, you can pre-translate any of the projects you own. Also, TM suggestions from all TMs will appear in the Editor.

To share TMs between all of the projects you own, follow these steps:

1. Apri le Risorse e seleziona Memoria di Traduzione.
2. Seleziona Condividi TM.

Applicare la Memoria di Traduzione tramite Pre-traduzione

Pre-translation via TM allows you to leverage a minimum of 100% and Perfect matches.

1. Open your project and go to the Home tab.
2. Clicca Pre-traduzione.
3. Seleziona tramite TM dall’elenco a tendina.
4. Seleziona i file e le lingue che vuoi siano pre-tradotte.
5. Configura le impostazioni aggiuntive per le traduzioni.
6. Clicca Pre-traduzione.
   Nota: Se la funzionalità di sostituzione automatica è abilitata, i suggerimenti della TM migliorati al 100% saranno trattati come corrispondenze al 100%.

   

You can set up the Pre-translation to be performed automatically when new files are uploaded. This feature is available as a part of Custom Workflow (only for Organization plans).

TM Match Calculation

Crowdin calculates the TM match by comparing the source string to be translated and TM’s existing segments.

There are three main types of TM matches:

• Corrispondenza Perfetta - Il testo del segmento della TM e il contesto corrispondono completamente alla stringa sorgente
• Corrispondenza 100% - Il testo del segmento della TM corrisponde alla stringa sorgente, ma il contesto è differente
• Corrispondenza Sfocata (99% e inferiore) - Il testo del segmento della TM è differente in una certa misura rispetto alla stringa sorgente

If the Perfect and 100% TM match calculation is relatively straightforward, the fuzzy matches’ calculation may not be so obvious.

There are multiple different factors that affect the calculation of fuzzy matches, for example:

• Ordine delle parole
• Punteggiatura
• Tag di formattazione
• Abbinamenti non più lunghi della stringa sorgente
