To set up optimal TM thresholds and save editing time, users are offered recommended TM threshold values.
The recommended TM threshold value indicates the TM match at (or above) which it becomes faster to edit the TM pre-translated segments than the MT pre-translated segments (shorter editing time).
Note
Due to continuous improvements, the user interface may not be exactly the same as presented in the video.
TM threshold visibility
TM threshold value recommendations are provided for organizations meeting the following criteria (jointly):
-
Have jobs completed within the previous 6 months.
-
Have at least 1000 MT pre-translated segments.
-
Have at least one fuzzy score bucket (70-74%, 75-79%, 80-84%, 85-89%, 90-94%, 95-99%) with 300 or more TM pre-translated segments.
For organizations that don’t meet the above criteria, the recommended TM threshold is an average value aggregated from all Phrase TMS anonymized data.
