'No open translation memory' when working on project

liz green

Hi

I've set up a project with many files, and a TM from the client. The first few files worked fine. Now, though, I can't seem to access my TM

When I go into Project Settings, the TM is there, and ticked. But as you can see from the screenshot, I am also getting a message that there are 'no open TMs'. So I cannot access the TM, or add to it, as I work.

I've tried setting up a new project, because I wondered if I'd set up the first one incorrectly (although as I said, the first few files did work properly). But that made no difference.

Please help - my deadline looms...

TIA,

Liz

    Hi ,

    Just wanted to close this one off... an interesting issue. If you create a multilingual Project like en(GB) - de(DE) and en(GB) - de(AT) then you will be able to add your en(GB) - de(DE) translation memories to the project. But they won't be used for the en(GB) - de(AT) language pair. There is no warning that you are missing TMs for one of the languages and if you added them at the All Language Pairs (as most people do) then it's very easy to miss this.

    Problem can be resolved using AnyTM if you don't care about any differences between de(DE) and de(AT). If you do then you also need to add Translation memories for en(GB) - de(AT).

    Quite an interesting one and not necessarily obvious at first.
