Termbase Settings

The Termbase settings box (Settings → General) controls how termbase matches are displayed while you translate.

Highlight termbase matches in source cells

When enabled, termbase matches are highlighted with coloured backgrounds directly in the source column of the grid. Higher-priority terms are shown in darker blue, lower-priority terms in lighter blue – similar to memoQ’s termbase highlighting. This gives you instant visual feedback about which words in the source are covered by your termbases.

Hide shorter termbase matches included in longer ones

When enabled, shorter terms that are fully contained within a longer matched term are hidden from the results.

For example, if both cooling and cooling system match, only cooling system is shown. This reduces clutter in the translation results panel when overlapping terms are present.
