Formatting Penalties
When you confirmed your translation in the last step, your cursor was automatically
placed in the next unconfirmed segment. In segment 3 there is a 98% match for this
segment in the translation memory. The text found in the translation memory is the
correct translation but because the new source segment in the document also has
formatting applied, a 2% penalty was applied in the translation memory because it does
not have the same formatting.
6. The symbol in the Translation Results window indicates that there is a
formatting penalty. Hover over the symbol to see the details of the penalty.
NOTE By default, SDL Trados Studio settings specify that recognized formatting tags
(such as bold and italics in this example) are hidden, therefore tags remain
hidden when inserted and instead the text is formatted in the style shown in
the Editor window.
