Inconsistent results with Amazon Translate and terminology

1

Hello,

Amazon Translate returns inconsistent result when used with terminology

So i have uploaded this terminology

en,ro
backup,backup

And i have these examples

item=1
# backup is replaced and the translation doesn't have the same meaning
source_string=Moving this folder changes the backup destination. 
translation=Mutarea acestui folder modifică destinația de rezervă. 
applied_terminologies=[]

item=2
source_string=the backup
translation=backup-ul
applied_terminologies=[{'Name': 'my_test_terminology', 'Terms': [{'SourceText': 'backup', 'TargetText': 'backup'}]}]

item=3
source_string=backup
translation=backup
applied_terminologies=[{'Name': 'my_test_terminology', 'Terms': [{'SourceText': 'backup', 'TargetText': 'backup'}]}]

item=4
source_string=the backup
translation=backup-ul
applied_terminologies=[{'Name': 'my_test_terminology', 'Terms': [{'SourceText': 'backup', 'TargetText': 'backup'}]}]

item=5
source_string=something out of context and backup the
translation=ceva în afara contextului și backup
applied_terminologies=[{'Name': 'my_test_terminology', 'Terms': [{'SourceText': 'backup', 'TargetText': 'backup'}]}]

item=6
source_string=something backup the
translation=ceva de rezervă
applied_terminologies=[]

In the above examples we can see that the terminology

  • in some cases is not used and the why it happens seems random.
  • in some cases the terminology is somewhat used but is changed

The point of terminology in my mind is

  1. to specify if a term should have the same translation in 1 or more languages while in some other it has something else
  2. context or fluency doesn't make sense for the user. if someone says that backup for Romanian should stay backup and for French it should have some other meaning is perfectly valid.

Not sure if it was introduced with some of the latest changes but i remember at some point in the past it was working by keeping the terminology translation in all cases.
