Hello everyone,
So I just got started with OmegaT and Chinese (simplified), and quickly discovered that Fuzzy Matches and Glossary don't seem to work as they should.
Nothing ever shows up on both windows, even after adding entries on the glossary.
I created a test file with sentences of different similarities and lenghts to test the software's behavior, and it seems like only 100% matches are correctly detected & replaced.

I created a test file with sentences of different similarities and lenghts to test the software's behavior, and it seems like only 100% matches are correctly detected & replaced.
I tried to run the software using Applocale (the Windows launcher for non-unicode systems) with no change. I checked the project files, TMXes and the glossary file are correctly created and filled. So I don't know where would be the problem. Maybe a char display issue ? ▲ Collapse

For glossaries, it could be an encoding issue. You could test with an English or French source document and glossary to check everything is working as it should.
(As long as you use correctly UTF-8 glossaries, not system-encoded ones, everything should be fine.)
For fuzzy matches, it's very unlikely.
By default, OmegaT uses Java tokenizer, which can only detect words when they are separated by a space. Of course, it doesn't work for CJK languages.
That's why we provide also tokenizers:

For Chinese, LuceneSmartChineseTokenizer seems to be the better one.
Do not forget to use also a target tokenizer, so that you don't have issues with spellchecking in European target languages.

I must have missed something the first time, I re-set up the tokenizer launcher acording to instructions, and now it works, both fuzzy matches and glossary.
Thank you, and sorry for the trouble.
