Hello, I know I'm able to add fragments to memory as I translate without having to open the TM editor. Is it possible to do the opposite (to remove fragments) while translating?
I want to be able to eliminate those nonsense terms that are suggested just like I can add a new fragment to memory.

It is possible to edit and delete/remove TMs on the fly. Just click on the blue number next to the source term, and a pop-up screen will show up:
However, if the entry isn't wrong as such, I think you should fine-tune your settings. A notorious PITA is the Virtual Match. It's usually OK, but sometimes you'll get the craziest results. A way to get rid of them is increasing the threshold in the Preferences/Options.

If you get a lot of nonsense tems, you can set TM matching via its settings to Fuzzy instead of Fuzzy and Hits.
You can remove any suggested matches from a TM by clicking on the little number above the match in the tabbed pane. In the dialogue box that is opened, you click the Delete button.

Thank you both!
True, deleting isn't usually the best option because the whole segment memory has to be deleted. The mismatches usually occur with words and small terms, in my case. It looks like it's impossible to avoid it, except when I disable the "hits" option.
I guess I'll have to work on the glossary in order to get accurate words and terms.
This is just my first week using CafeTran, which also happens to be my first CAT tool.

... I think you're doing pretty well.

No, you can delete (edit) part of the segment. Still, I wouldn't do that. It's smarter to add terms to the Memory for Fragments.
The two main problems with AA (Auto-Assembling) are:
Longer hits prevail. This seems logical, and in almost all cases it is
The already mentioned Virtual Matches
For both goes that it only becomes problematic if you're using (very) large TMs for Segments. There's nothing you can do about the first issue, but you can adjust your settings for the VMs.
Cheers,
Hans

Improvement to the algorithm which 'guesses' the translation of extracted subsegments

Thanks again.
I still haven't been able to find a good article or tutorial about it. It seems that the tutorial on the official website is still being made. Do you know any good comprehensive CafeTran tutorial or at least an article that explains the memory options? So far I've been just testing the different options when I can't obtain enough information.
