How can I insert matches from the TM without changing the percent value for the match?

I have got the following problem: I have a corrupt xliff-file, but my own translations still in the TM. By inserting them, of course, all of them are displayed as 100 % matches (unless I pretranslate the text with the old TM and then copy them one by one manually from the TM).

Is there any possibility to keep the percent value of 0 % even if I insert the matches from the TM? This is the standard behaviour in memoQ, by the way.

I don't know, but a possible workaround would be to use the bilingual review feature. Create two copies of your project. Pre-translate the one against the TM. Export it to bilingual review. Then try to import that file into the other copy of the project. If you can't import it, try exporting from both projects, then copy/pasting the pre-translation from the one file into the other before importing it.

Do you have MemoQ? MemoQ also has a bilingual review type of feature that can be used in a similar way.
