Re: Pontoon: Subpar matching in suggestions

Hi,

Indeed, Pontoon's Translation Memory doesn't work at all for longer
strings (bug 1469010). While that affects less than 1% of all strings
in Pontoon, the longer the string, the more time can be saved using
TM. We should fix this. I'm adding it to the Q4 list:
https://wiki.mozilla.org/L10n:Pontoon#Other_bugs

The problem with complex FTL strings is harder to solve, because FTL
format cannot be fully converted to simple file formats (like TMX).
Hence, it also involves changes to the data model and UX. See bug
1453341 for details.
