Hi Community,

I read through all the Retrofit-related threads but have not found a satisfying answer to my problem yet.

I work with XML files that contain German source strings and are translated into various languages. In theory, all changes to the translated files should be implemented by me so that the TMs are always up-to-date. However, sometimes our developers need to update the target language files themselves and forget to inform me about the changes. This means that the changes are overwritten next time the translators apply their TMs, because the changes were only made to the target files but not stored in the TM.

Retrofit seemed to be the solution to my problem, but I noticed that it doesn't catch all changes to the target files (even though I set the slider to "tolerant"). For example, in one file the term "date" was changed to "appointment", but after performing Retrofit, it still said "date". Is there anything I can do to make sure all changes are imported? Or is there any other way to go about this problem? Unfortunately, aligning the files is not an option, since the files are huge (up to 70,000 words each). I did this once when I initially created my TMs, but it took me a couple of days.

Any ideas how to deal with this issue?

Thanks a lot in advance!
