A client sent me an instructions file that I thought was weird: it explains how to filter on unedited fuzzy matches.

This means that I don't see that these "translated" segments are actually unedited fuzzy matches. Now the client's instructions make sense (and the filter caught a few more that I did not see myself). What a terrible bug in XTM! I wish there was a way to tell XTM "do not insert fuzzy matches", but there is no such option. In addition, once you pressed ENTER on a segment without realizing it's an unedited fuzzy match, it propagates to all repetitions, and it's very hard to find those errant segments. Basically I'm forced to very carefully check every single segment, especially ones that seem translated.

Hi Samuel,
thanks for your post. This is not a bug, but rather a configuration.
- The client decides if fuzzy matches shall be pre-populated into the target and this can be decided for each fuzzy category. If you think this setting needs to be changed, I advise to reach out to the client and find an agreement
- When you finish a task, XTM runs some consistency checks, one of them being 'fuzzy match used but not edited'. You will get a pop up saying that some QA errors have been found and you should check before actually closing the window. This will be very soon part of the QA profile, meaning that this QA warning will be flagged right after a fuzzy match segment is confirmed (so you are aware of this mistake right away, not just when you finish the task)
- The propagation or repetitions is something that you can define in your own Workbench settings (Settings > General). We are quite flexible there, so even if you decide not to propagate repetitions, you can still do it on a segment by segment basis (in the segment options, if that segment is a repetition, you will find the options relevant to propagating and how).
You can find additional details in our user's manual and release notes.
Kind regards,
