Hi!

I use MemoQ regularly - for about 4 years now.

Starting yesterday, all the dark-red TM lookup results (that is, all the segment leveraging within my project, as well as all the TM entries and fuzzy matches) ... just don't appear at all.

I still see TB hits, and some of the orange-numbered phrases that are useless (I've never learned what those are), but absolutely nothing from the TM. I've tried deleting a bunch of "preferences-..." files in the MemoQ... See more
Hi!

I still see TB hits, and some of the orange-numbered phrases that are useless (I've never learned what those are), but absolutely nothing from the TM. I've tried deleting a bunch of "preferences-..." files in the MemoQ program folder, and I've tried loading in other TMs just to see .... nothing changes.

Thanks for any insights! ▲ Collapse

TM settings Oct 25, 2022

Perhaps you accidentally changed the "Minimum match threshold"? The default is quite low (60%); perhaps you changed it to a very high value.

Here is the relevant page from the memoQ Documentation: https://docs.memoq.com/current/en/Places/edit-tm-settings.html?Highlight=tm%20settings

Translation results eye Oct 25, 2022

Make sure that your project languages are the same as the TM languages. From what you describe, you seem to translate a SOU-TAR project using a TAR-SOU TM. TB works in both directions, that is why you still can see the TB hits. And concordance search still can be run with opposite language direction. That is why you can see the light orange hits.
Also, try to fiddle with the open/closed eye icon on the right. Double click it to open the Translation results settings window:

*Btw, segments with light-orange status are those from concordance search. Here is what memoQ manual reads:
"memoQ attempts to retrieve the longest possible expressions that can be found by concordancing, and tries to offer their equivalent too. If memoQ finds a translation, it appears on the list. You can insert this translation into the target cell just like TM matches."
However this does not explain why it suggests segments with blank target...
