Studio 2017 doesnt show the terms I translated before in the same document as matches

Hi there,

I have a problem working with Studio 2017.

It happened already couple of times that I had a term or a part of sentence, which I knew I had in the document before and translated it just couple of hours ago! In this case I usually select it in source text and press F3 to search, so that my earlier translated sentence shows in Concordance Search window along with other matches, if any. 

But with Studio 2017 I select, press F3 and get "No results". How come??? I know exactly I had this term before. If I look for it with the Text Search, I find it. So why it doesnt appear in Matches?

Having gone through some of the similar questions here, I already disabled Lookahead, checked if TM is being updated - it is, enabled search in both project and main TM (although im not using the project TM), opened and closed Studio several times. No improvement whatsoever. :(

Please, guys, who can help? It really slows down my work and I have a big project with tight timing, so would be really thankful for any suggestions.

Thanks in advance.

  • Do I understand you correctly, you really expect the TM search to show you matches for a single word from a segment with dozens of words? If so, then you unfortunately misunderstand, how a TM works.
    A TM will deliver you matches for WHOLE segments (similar by the percentage set in minimum match value to what has been translated in the past). A TM match will however NEVER deliver a match for a single word out of such a segment.
    If you need matches for single words, use a Multiterm termbase.

    But if you are referring to the search function, so it cannot find "hydraulisch" if you are searching for "hydraulische " (with a trailing space. Try to search for "hydraulisch", then it will find all words with "hydraulisch", including "hydraulische", "hydraulischer" and so on.

    Same will apply to the concordance - if you search for a word with a trailing space, this will reduce the amount of what can be found, as the space is also searched for. Try to select words without trailing spaces instead...
