Yandex demo. The results are quite different from Google Translate and Bing Translator. Which doesn't say much per se.
Registration is easier than with MS or Google.
Registration for Yandex translate was really easy. It is another bad MT provider for my language pair English>Turkish but why should I complain. Bad MT, more work for me. I wonder which CAT tools support Yandex currently. It is not supported by DVX3 and that is strange. I thought DVX3 was widely used among Russian translators. AFAIK memoQ and Wordfast Pro 4 do not support it as well.

omegaT supports Yandex too: https://sourceforge.net/p/yandextranslatepluginforomegat/wiki/Home/

These results from MT systems cannot be used directly. In my experience they often give nice suggestions for elegant / alternative wordings. I take the snippets that I like and leave the rest unconsidered.
The threshold value is the number of loaded translation units. The Preliminary matching should start automatically after you choose a TMX file via the Dashboard. I have uploaded a new build where it also starts after opening a large TMX via the Memory menu. Then, it should kick off as you move to the next segment. The build also adds the standard keyboard shortcuts for basic formatting actions as requested in another thread.
It is also a good idea to provide a "stop preliminary matching" button somewhere near the progress bar. Now, the only way to stop it seems to be exiting the program.
Hi Jeremy,
Actually, it displayed project's .xlf file name instead. But you are right as it should display the project name given by the user. It's been fixed now. Thanks for noticing it!
>I'd like to suggest that the default threshold be raised to a much higher level (300,000 or more) so that users not aware of this new feature will not be embarrassed with the automatic (for them, unintended) start of preliminary matching.
How about making depend on the total amount of RAM? 16 GB or 32 GB etc.

The whole point of the automatic switching to the preliminary matching with large TMs is to make the search results available instantly. The TM size for the switch should be based on the average wait time for the result when the TM is set in the "Automatic" workflow. If it gets longer than 5 seconds, CT should make the switch. It is hardware dependent but I assume it may reach the 5-second limit somewhere in 25000 - 50000 segments range. The suggested 300000 segments size is way too large for the Automatic workflow.
