The very important premise here is that I am a complete noob. That being said, I am working as a translator for this company, and we use trados 19 at work. I am currently trying to watch as many tutorials as I can, been learning a lot of useful things, and I'm currently in the process of understanding how to use translation memories. The other translators at work have a couple translation memories based on the work they've done for the last 3-4 years, they're very useful obviously because they're very specific, and a lot of times I find that like 20% of the text I'm working with is already translated, and that's great.
Other times though, I find that a string might contain a phrase that I'm sure the TM knows already, but I have to manually translate nonetheless. If I manually go look for the phrase in the TM, I find it, but it doesn't come up to me as a possible fragment, even if it would have a better ratio than some of the fragments that DO come up.
It's the same with the entries I put in the TM. If the string is completely identic to the one I confirmed, it gets automatically translated, but if it is like contained in a string that has some other elements, or if there's a one word difference, then I have to type it all over again.
I understand it is not so much a clear issue as a bunch of random things that I will gradually sort out, because I still don't really know my way around trados, trust me I'm watching those tutorials, but I figured that this thread could be a good idea if in the meantime there were some stupid little things I could be doing or know about that could speed up my process ▲ Collapse

You might need some training...
I tried to teach myself how to use Trados 5 years ago, but I finally decided to take a course and found out that I really needed training, as I had missed a couple of very important basic steps. If you are near Forlì, I suggest the following one:

I agree, I absolutely do need training, I did say I'm a noob
But rn I was looking for some quick fix that could get phrases from my TM to pop out a bit more, because it's always like I have to go look for them (something like a lower % threshold for the fragments idk)
I'm not anywhere near Forlì, but thank you anyway, I'll have a look at it
