Enable Trados to automatically populate all tags and formatting when pre-translating with a translation memory imported via TMX

Currently, when using Google Machine Translation in Trados, all tags and formatting of the original text (including font color, size, italics, various colors of highlighting, underlining, etc.) are well preserved.

For example:

Screenshot showing Trados Studio interface with highlighted text and hyperlinks preserved in Google Machine Translation.

Screenshot displaying a warning in Trados Studio about the inability to retain original formatting when using translation memory from a TMX file.

However, when using the translation memorysdltm imported from a TMX file that primarily consists of plain text without tags or formatting, after pre-translations in trados with this translation memorysdltm, we find that trados either cannot automatically match the translation due to less than 100% match or, even if a match is found, trados cannot automatically populate tags and retain the various formatting of the original text (including font color, font size, italics, various colors of highlighting, underlining, etc.).

For example:

Screenshot of Trados Studio's translation memory search interface with a note on importing from a TMX file.

Screenshot illustrating Trados Studio's failure to match translation and retain formatting with less than 100% match from TMX file.

Screenshot of Trados Studio showing mismatched formatting and tags in the translated text compared to the original.

Please add the function in Trados to allows Trados to automatically batch pre-translate with the translation memorysdltm imported from a TMX file as long as the content of words and numbers of the sentence in the source text is the same as the sentence in the translation memorysdltm imported from a TMX file. Trados should accurately autofill all corresponding tags in the targeted text and adjust the formatting to perfectly match the original sentence (including font color, size, italics, various colors of highlighting, underlining, etc.).
