This document defines the phase-72 translation memory integration for TODOS.phase-72.72.11.1.5. Translation memory reuses previously translated strings before vendor handoff and generates fuzzy suggestions for similar source strings that still need translator review.

Memory Source#

The fr-FR seed memory lives at V2/ue/Content/Localization/V2/Memory/TranslationMemory_fr-FR.json. It stores previous source text, translated text, context, text role, variables, usage count, and update timestamp. The minimum fuzzy score is 0.74.

Memory entries are only eligible when their named variable set matches the source string. This prevents a fuzzy match from dropping required runtime variables such as {speaker_name} or {estimated_wait_minutes}.

Matching Rules#

V2/ue/Tools/apply-v2-translation-memory.py reads V2/ue/Content/Localization/V2/Translations/en-US.v2loc.json and produces:

  • V2/ue/Content/Localization/V2/Memory/TranslationMemorySuggestions_fr-FR.json
  • V2/ue/Content/Localization/V2/Memory/fr-FR.memory-applied.v2loc.json

Exact matches have score 1.0, can be reused automatically, and enter the applied file as translated. Fuzzy matches use SequenceMatcher over normalized source text, require a score of at least 0.74, and enter the applied file as needs_translation.

The tracked sample intentionally keeps loc.online.ranked.queue_estimate.body out of the exact memory and matches it against loc.online.casual.queue_estimate.body, proving the fuzzy path for similar queue estimate text.

Verification#

Run this gate after changing memory seeds, matching logic, generated suggestions, applied output, docs, or CI wiring:

bash
python3 V2/ue/Tools/check-v2-translation-memory-integration.py
