Sometimes you have verbs in the source or target language that need to be split. Auto-assembling doesn't know where to put the pieces in the segment. Term patterns to the rescue!

Here are two pairs of segments:

1

In the first segment, the target needs the part 'los' positioned correctly.

In the second segment, the source has a part 'aus' that shouldn't be placed in the target.

Steps to make term patterns work:

First, create the term patterns, inserting wildcards where needed:

2

3

Second, make sure that the content of the placeholders exists in a glossary:

4

Once you have done this, all you have to do is press F1 to have your term patterns assembled correctly.

Other candidates:
Tighten the bolt firmly.
Ziehen Sie die Schraube fest an.

Schließen Sie das Gerät an.
Connect the device.

Sperren Sie das Zimmer ab.
Lock the room.

?Wählen Sie {1} aus ?Select {1}
?Beachten Sie {1} ?Neem {1} in acht

When do you use term patters in CafeTran Espresso? Whenever auto-assembling doesn't place split verb parts in the right position. Term patterns allow you to override the word order created by the auto-assembling process.
