Definitions for "Fuzzy Match"
(partial match) A segment or sentence in a source document for which the translation memory tool can match some of the words in the target language, including font style and various attributes like context. See fuzzy match.
a non-exact match for a TU source segment (present in the memory) as compared to a document's source segment (the segment we want to translate)
Translation inserted by a translation memory where the source segment in the file being translated is similar to, but not identical with, a source segment already existing in that memory. With TRADOS Workbench, the translation memory software used within Wordbank, the degree of similarity is expressed as a percentage value and is shown in the tag that is inserted between the source segment and the translation. Within Wordbank, the default fuzzy match values are 70% - 99%, and fuzzy matches are coloured green in the pretranslated file. They are then amended by the Editor to match the source exactly.
