Hello!

MemoQ 2015 here (same problem in 2014 though).

I've got a weird problem with TM matches in Chinese (ZH → Any language TMs).
Segments that are absolutely identical to records in TM only show up as 60-90% matches.

E.g.:
— segment is identical to TM record yet it's only a 76% match in memoQ's eyes.

Or this (no tags, just identical plain text yet it's an 81% match):

Here's the funny one:



As you can see, it's a repetition and memoQ actually populated it. But it still can't match it properly from TM...

And it's not just one or two segments here and there. I've got 15000 chars worth of these in a 75000 chars file. And it's always like this.

I could go for Pretranslate → Any match, of course, but the thing is there are situations when it's actually a 60% match, not an identical segment. The problem is memoQ can't tell one from another.

I wonder if I'm missing some TM parameter to make memoQ match Chinese text properly? Or is it some kind of a known bug?
