Hello fellow translators,

Do you know if there is a way to conveniently add words to termbase for languages whose morphology routinely allows for considerable alterations in words? One example would be Georgian, a language which I am studying, where verbs can change at the beginning and at the end according to person, tense, mood, etc.
Let's make a example with a random verb, to prepare, momzadeba (მომზადება). I won't use official phonemi

Hello fellow translators,

Do you know if there is a way to conveniently add words to termbase for languages whose morphology routinely allows for considerable alterations in words? One example would be Georgian, a language which I am studying, where verbs can change at the beginning and at the end according to person, tense, mood, etc.
Let's make a example with a random verb, to prepare, momzadeba (მომზადება). I won't use official phonemic transcription, just the commonly used one, to better explain.

The root is mzad.

According to how you use it, this verb could be anything, from vamzadeb to movumzade, from momzadebdi to mogimzadiat and so on. But as far as I understood, wildcards in MemoQ only allow for an alteration at the beginning or at the end of each term. So either | or *, but not at the same time.

Did anyone else stumble in such a problem? I'm sure plenty of other languages pose this problem. If yes, what do you do? Do you use a workaround?
Thanks,

G.

Just treat them as different terms Apr 17, 2020

Below is a short list of Russian words with root 'бег' ('run').
I can't see any option other than just adding as many terms as you can and set the Matching parameter to 'Fuzzy' and the Case sensitivity to 'No' for all new and existing terms (you can do it in batch). This is how memoQ can cover as many variants as possible.... See more
