Leverage Expert

Alchemy CATALYST provides powerful Translation Memory lookup technology called ezMatch, which allows localization professionals to reuse previous translations. The Leverage Expert is designed to maximize the amount of translations that can be reused from multiple file formats.

Select the content to be leveraged (either the current project, or a group of files defined in a job file).

Leverage Source Details

When leveraging a segment and an acceptable match is found in the TM, information about that TM entry is stored along with the current segment in the Catalyst project. You can always refer to this information to know about the TM entry that was used for any leveraged segment.

One of the most unique and powerful features of ezMatch technology is its ability to not only leverage translations, but also to leverage coordinate and layout information. This means that all translation and localization engineering work can be reused from project to project.

TM Entry	Source and Target value from the TM is displayed on the left. This is important information especially in the case of a fuzzy match, because the current source segment and TM source segment may not be the same.
	The TM Symbol is displayed as a quick reference for the TM type that was used to provide the match. This could be a TTK symbol, a TM symbol, a TMX symbol, etc.
	The TM Entry translation status is shown on the right. Approved TM entries will always show a Signed Off symbol here, However, with faster processes, especially with Agile, there is not always time to approve a TM between cycles. The entry in the TM may remain For Review, Fuzzy Matched, Machine Translated, etc.. This state is leveraged along with the translation and displayed here for reference. This means you always know the quality of your leveraged data.
Leverage Operation	The Name of the TM source is displayed
	The user who performed the leverage is listed
	The date and time of the leverage operation is also made availalbe.
