QA settings randomly change or get lost when working with Trados Enterprise SDLPPX in Trados Studio 2024

Hi everyone,

we recently noticed a strange problem in Trados Studio 2024.
When importing an SDLPPX from a Trados Enterprise task into Trados Studio, the project's QA settings get lost every now and then.

Normally, the correct settings (i.e. Tag Verifier) would look like this in the Studio GUI.

Screenshot of Trados Studio QA settings with options for tags added, tags deleted, tag order change, ghost tags, and spacing around tags, with corresponding error levels set to Error, Error, Warning, Note, and Note.

In the corresponding SDLPROJ file the equivalent settings sections would look like this.

When unpacking an SDLPPX from Trados Enterprise, however, the setting section in the SDLPROJ file changes immediately after making any change
to the project settings via the Studio GUI. As you can see, a major part of the setting parameters gets lost in the SDLPROJ.

As of this point, the settings in the Studio GUI change every now and then. We were not able to recognize a pattern, but sometimes after re-opening the project, all settings are lost.
This is particularly annoying for our translators who have to verify the project QA settings and manually check every option before they start working on an SDLXLIFF file in the editor.

Anyone here experiencing similar issues with settings getting lost during the process?

Thanks in advance for your help!

Best regards,
Julian

  • Would appreciate your help with this one. I've tested several Trados Studio 2024 (18.0.2.3255) installations and they all show the same behavior. Every now and then, the Number Verifier settings get lost, at least the notification types available through the dropdown menu.
    I had previously selected "Error" for the first two options and then saved the project settings. After restarting Studio and re-opening the project, this selection is gone.

    Trados Studio Number Verifier settings showing options for reporting added and removed numbers, with dropdown menus highlighted in red.

    I then checked the sdlproj and found that the corresponding parameters did not show any values:
    XML configuration file showing settings for Number Verifier, with AddedNumbersErrorType and RemovedNumbersErrorType fields highlighted and empty.

    I had to manually select the notification type in the GUI so that these two error types were included in the F8 check.
    This basically happens every week when closing and re-opening projects originating from Trados Enterprise packages imported in Trados Studio.

    Would appreciate your support Slight smile

    Thanks in advance!
