Termbase not working in Studio 2019 for any segments that start with an ampersand (&)

Hello,

 

The termbase for a project I'm currently working on is attached and set up correctly, and it works fine for segments that start with a word, tag or number.

 

However, there are several segments in my file that begin with an ampersand (&), e.g. "&N Your password is out of date.&N Update your password to proceed."

 

The "&N" represents a new line/line break in the end client's system.

 

The termbase says "No results available" every time I need to translate a segment that begins with "&N", even though there are definitely several terms in the segment. The termbase works fine for all other segments in the file, so it can only be the "&N" that's causing this issue.

 

Any ideas on how this could be resolved?

 

Thanks,

 

Tom

  • Hello ,

    Can you please confirm that you use a termbase (*.sdltb file format) or a Translation Memory (*.sdltm file format)?

    Normally the termbases are only for words, like a dictionary, the Translation Memory is designated for saving the hole segment.

    I just made a simple test from my side including the 2 segments that you are talking about, starting with &N, and I have the suggestion.

    Please make sure you create a Translation Memory and add properly the segment to the TM (by confirm with CTRL+ Enter each segment).

    If this doesn't solve the issue, please send me your document and Termbase / TM in order to test it to info@sdltrados.com
