Auto propagation not working - Studio 2019

Hello dear community,

I have recently decided to lower the auto-propagation option in my SDL Trados Studio 2019 Freelance to %70. (as you see in the picture below)

SDL Trados Studio 2019 Freelance auto-propagation settings window showing the minimum match value set to 70%. 

In the first file, it worked, in the second file, it only auto-propagate %80 and %90 and %100. Even though there were several in the %70. 

In the third file, I noticed that it only auto-propagate %100. 

I checked the options and I found that it is still at 70 and when I moved between segments the translation memory generated the %70 - %80 - %90. 

 

I am not sure why it to stop auto-propagating.

I hope you can advise me what to do to make it generate auto-propagation from 70% in the file I am working on currently, because it doesn't seem to be able to apply this option. 

 

As you can see in the following image, there are 116 seg. between 99-70 that should have been auto-propagated, but they didn't 

Segment match percentages displayed in SDL Trados Studio with values of 89%, 71%, 82%, and 90%, indicating inconsistent auto-propagation.

  • Hello  , 

    Without seeing the actual files it is is difficult to diagnose i think. Also it is not clear if all the files are in one project or spread across three different projects?

    Did you change the settings 'mid project' ? Or did you change the settings and then create new projects?

    Maybe first try closing the projects and reopening to see if this makes a difference and also maybe check the TM settings are what you want/expect- e.g.

    Screenshot of Trados Studio Translation Memory Settings dialog box with an arrow pointing to 'Automatically update' checkbox.

     

    Does any of this help?

  • Hello Steven Whale,

    Thank you so much for your advise!

    I have been working on the same project since the beginning of this month when I first created in Studio 2019.

    I have been adding files for translation on a daily basis. Only 3 days ago, I realised that it would optimise my speed if I get the auto-propagation to start at %70. It worked fine for the first file. 

    However, I leave my machine on hibernate a lot, and I noticed that after I restarted, it worked again as you can see in the pictures below:

    Three progress bars in Trados Studio showing translation completion percentages of 82%, 96%, and 80%, each with a red warning icon.

    A single progress bar in Trados Studio showing a translation completion percentage of 70% with no warnings or errors.

    Could that be the reason it wasn't working earlier? I just needed a good restart/shut down?

     

    Thank you again for your help! 

     

    Kind Regards,

    Noha L.
