Add fuzzy match percentage e.g. [fuzzy00] in OmegaT for TXML files

Issue #385 on hold

Original issue 385 created by afrika... on 2014-01-27T09:56:47.000Z:

This is not a bug report but a feature request.

Sometimes a TXML file will contain existing translations from the client's TM, but those translations aren't always 100% matches. The match percentage is indicated in the "target" tag in the TXML file. If the match percentage is less than 100%, then the segment often needs to be reviewed by the translator.

Currently, OmegaT with the Okapi filter shows such fuzzy matched segments as "100%" matches. I suggest that if a segment's "target" tag contains a match percentage (below 100), that it be included in OmegaT as a "fuzzy" marker with the percentage, e.g. [fuzzy74] for a 74% match.

In case not all translators want this, you can make it an option.

    Are you refering to the "score" attribute in the <target> element for the percentage value?
    Could you provide an example file?

    We have cases similar to this (fuzzy match provided) for other file formats. I think we handle it by simply making the entry a fuzzy match (and not copy it by default in the target in OmegaT). Would that be an acceptable behavior here too?

    Thanks,
