Trados Studio 2024 Translations Results window: markup / difference formatting not shown.

When translating, the difference(s) between a source sentence from the Translation Memory and the source sentence to be translated are shown (see red circle: 'drie' comes from the TU in the TM, 'zeven' from the new sentence to be translated), but without markup (difference formatting). How can I activate this markup?

How can I resolve this?

Thanks a lot.
Screenshot of Trados Studio interface showing a translation segment with the source text 'Ik heb zeven kinderen.' and the corresponding translation 'J'ai trois enfants.' A red circle highlights the difference 'driezeven' in the source segment.

Screenshot of Trados Studio Options menu with 'Differences Options' section visible. Checkboxes for 'Show document source segment differences' and 'Show translation memory source segment differences' are checked. Examples of 'inserted' and 'deleted' content formatting are shown.

  • Yes, I did. I did this already before you suggested it and once more after your suggestion. No difference.
    Now, I reinstalled Trados from scratch and updated to Trados Studio 2024 - 18.0.2.3255: no difference neither.
    Thanks for trying to help me.

    As this important feature works for me with the same settings, it seems something in your settings is defective. If resetting window layout does not help, we need to go further. Please do the following steps one by one until you see what you need, restarting Studio each time:

    • Go to File -> Setup -> Manage user profiles and RESET your current user profile
    • Otherwise delete the folder C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Roaming\Trados\Trados Studio\Studio18
    • After doing so TS will ask you for a user profile. Do not chose any from the list, but select Browse and chose one from here C:\Program Files (x86)\Trados\Trados Studio\Studio18\UserProfiles
      Overwrite the existing profile, if asked to do so

    Should even this not help, I have no clue what can be causing the problem. In this case we need to involve RWS representative.
