Translation units not adding up to TM in Studio 2017

Question

This is a similar problem to the one I submitted a week or so ago: 
 Using Studio 2017, in certain projects and with certain TMs, I don&rsquo;t see the number of translation units adding or changing under Settings of the TM view (neither Project TM nor Main TM). 
 Yet, the units I&rsquo;ve confirmed are somewhere in the TM (checked by Concordance Search). This is puzzling me, because it gives me the feeling that the TM is not being populated. 
 I&rsquo;ve read somewhere that it would have something to do with Maintenance. But I don&rsquo;t see concretely what this is and how to solve the problem. 
 Who can help me find the cause of this problem and solve it?

Hi Pascal De Cubber , 
 
It sounds as though your problem is one, or both, of these two things: 
 
1. You are updating and working with a Project TM, but checking in your Main TM which has not been updated yet. 
2. You just need to go to the nextpage in your TM to see the additional TUs that have been added 
 
What makes you think they are missing? Where are you checking to come to this conclusion?

Hi Pascal De Cubber , 
 
Did you know that the Project TM is only made up of what you are translating at the moment, and anything that was found to be relevant from your Main TM. So the starting point would not be 3678. It could have been 10, or zero, or 1000. Depends on the content of your Main TM. 
 
Why not take a copy of your Main TM (in case you don't want to update it yet) and then run the Update Main TM batch task and see it this increases it. You have said a concordance finds the results in your TM, so this really does point to you just updating your Project TM.
