    This percentage specifies the TM leverage limit for a fuzzy match. For example, if a value of 75% is entered, the tool marks all the translations which are leveraged below 75% match as a 'No match' segment.

    • Add to TM by overwriting the existing TU (default): Overwrite the existing translation unit

    • Add to TM; overwrite the existing TU if attributes are identical: Overwrite the existing translation unit if the attributes match

    • Only add to TM the new TU; do not overwrite the existing TU: No overwrite, just add new TUs to the existing translation unit

    • Add to TM; do not overwrite the existing TU: No overwrite, just add TUs to the existing translation unit

    • Do not add to TM: No addition to be made to the existing translation unit

  10. Select the Total number of TUs shown in TM Lookup pane and click OK.
