Sentence patterns coming into CafeTran

Hi,


The next update of CafeTran will see a new enhancement to auto-assembling called "Sentence patterns". It will allow translators to create translation memory segments with variables in the following form:


All the leaves are {1} and the sky is {2}. = Todas las hojas son color {1} y el cielo es {2}.


Then CafeTran will be able to use terms in glossaries or fragments in translation memories to replace the variables with the found entry, creating a complete translation.


The feature will also let the user set the default exact match for the pattern such as:


All the leaves are {1=brown} and the sky is {2=gray}. = Todas las hojas son color {1=caféy el cielo es {2=gris}.


The order of variables is not fixed so the function may be really useful in auto-assembling when the translation of a sentence has the variable lexical elements in a completely different order.


I call this new improvement "Sentence patterns" as suggested by a user but it would be interesting to know an alternative (or perhaps a standard) term for it.

Instead of the "100%" pattern match indication on the AA panel that looks somewhat colorless, and is sometimes confusing at least for me, how about simply displaying "Pattern Match"?
