The "some cases" are explained in the 3 bullets below this statement.

yes, but bullet 2 does not behave as stated. Pre-translate does NOT overwrite what is in segments (at 0%) even if a better match is found (I have some 98% that are not inserted). Is this a common behavior or a fluke in my installation?

I'm at a loss [/quote]

memoQ seems to be regarding the segments that were pre-translated by your client as "edited" and therefore does not overwrite them.

If I were you, I'd either

-clear all translations • pre-translate using my own preferred MT engine and settings (you could also ask the client which engine they used), or

-generate a new TM of only the client's MT-pre-translated segments • apply a high penalty to this TM • clear all translations • pre-translate.
