I use OmegaT as CAT tool. I'd like to know which percentage of matching for the fuzzy editor you usually set for translating technical manuals.
Thanks

I suppose you mean the percentage for automatic insertion of a fuzzy match when entering an untranslated segment.

What is important is knowing whether it is faster to enter the translation from scratch or to edit the fuzzy match.

If you use 90% or higher, you should usually get good matches.

Some people set the threshold to 100%, to get only near exact matches.
