Yes, existing TMs can be upgraded so that they are upLIFT enabled. To do this, simply follow these steps:
When you create a new TM, simply ensure that the ‘Support fragment alignment’ box is ticked in the first screen of the wizard.
Open your TM in the Translation Memories view in Studio and go to Settings.
From here you will be able to switch fragment alignment On or Off. If you wish to use TU fragment matching, the first step is to build a translation model. Once this has been built, ensure you Align Translation Units. Finally, if you want any new content that you add to your TM as you translate to be available for upLIFT Fragment Recall, ensure that the Automatic Alignment option is enabled:
Go to:
File >
Options >
All Language Pairs >
Translation Memory and Automated Translation >
Search and tick the ‘TU fragment’ option. From here you can also set the minimum number of words in a match for both types of fragment recall.
upLIFT Fragment Recall results will be displayed in a new ‘Fragment matches’ window which is a new tab next to the Translation Results window, similar to how Concordance matches are shown. This window will only open when there are no exact or fuzzy matches as those fragments are most helpful for when you don’t have a TM match:
upLIFT Fragment Recall results will also be available through AutoSuggest and can quickly be added to a termbase directly from the Fragment Matches window.
