I mean, for example:
If I have in the segment the german word "Zwischenablage", the Term Recognition may propose "Zwischenlage" (which means a completely different thing).
I that case I may misread. So I need that in the Term Recognition window appear only terms which are much more similar to the on... See more

Interesting setting Mar 6, 2022

Thanks Stepan, for pointing us to this setting.

I can confirm your advice.

Default matching percentage (70%, if I remember correctly):

Some additional questions:

  • How can I change these tiny letters from the termbase to a legible size?
  • Doesn't offer Studio 2021 colour-coding for recognised source terms?


BTW: I don't know this in-word fuzzy matching from any other CAT tool. I can see advantages, but also, like the OP wrote, very big disadvantages.

    • I just figured this one out. You need to right-click on one of the hits in the Termbase. In the "Hitlist settings", you can change fonts, their size and colors.
