Dear colleagues,
I have a file to be translated .

It is a bit complicated and I don't see what you need it for, but technically it is possible:

1) Create a new empty TM.

5) Import the exported file (which will contain only
repetitions) into a new empty TM.
6) Change the target color in Options/Translated Text Colors...
to your desired color.
7) Pretranslate the file with "segment unknown sentences"
deactivated.

Now only the 100% matches (i.e. the repetitions) will be segmented and highlighted in the color you chose.
I don't know how to clean up the file without loosing the new color of the "translated" text, but there surely is a way to do it, if needed.
