Did you open the original template you had to see f the rules were still there? I'm asking because you may have had a problem really selecting the template and having it used when you created your new TM.  Can you clarify this point?

Also... a really dumb question but I'm just checking... did you select the language you customised when you looked in your template? All the languages will be in there and you just see the rules for the first in the list when you open it.

Ohhh.....and I spend 20-30 minutes replying to this, and pressed "reply" and it disappeared, and I failed to copy my lengthy message.  Is the Universe telling me something?

Sooooooo.......
I have only 1 Language Resource Template (LRT), for Russian, file name:
Russian.sdltm.resource
I always stored it in the default location, here:
Documents\Studio 2019\Language Resource Templates

I would access it in 2 ways:
1. TM view, Language Resource Templates folder, right click, Open Language Resource Template, navigate to:
Documents\Studio 2019\Language Resource Templates
Select file:
Russian.sdltm.resource

2. Create new TM>Step 3 Language resources, templates box:
- select "Russian"
- if not there, select Browse, navigate to:
Documents\Studio 2019\Language Resource Templates
Select file:
Russian.sdltm.resource

As late as the morning of Monday, 27 April, I saw my latest customisations when I would access the Russian LRT in any of these ways.

I also sent the file:
Russian.sdltm.resource
to my partner in Saint Petersburg twice, on 4 March and on Saturday, 25 April.
He renamed these files
001 Russian.sdltm.resource
002 Russian.sdltm.resource
He definitely remembers that when he used the file sent in March:
001 Russian.sdltm.resource
That he saw that new custom segmentation rules were applied to files.
Now when he looks at his settings, he sees only default settings.

When I load the 2 versions of the file:
Russian.sdltm.resource
After downloading them again ***from the email attachments*** to the default location:
Documents\Studio 2019\Language Resource Templates
I still get only the default abbreviations and no custom segmentation rules.

I have one TM, created on Monday, 27 April, where I can still see my custom abbreviation and segmentation rules in the TM "settings."  I don't suppose there is any way to transfer these (except manually) to the current Russian Language Resource Template. 

I want to figure out what might have happened before I do that work.

The only think I can think of was that I used the default project template later on Monday.

Just to be absolutely clear, yes, I did open the Russian Language Resource Template, and did not see my custom abbreviations or segmentation rules - everything was the default settings (only default Russian abbreviations and no custom segmentation rules).

And to again me absolutely clear, when I open the settings of the Language Resource Template, the language Russian (Russia) is indeed selected in the Language: drop-down box.

It is this only language available in the drop-down box.

This is beginning to sound like a mystery we'll never get to the bottom of.  Possible reasons...

• do you use any backup software that may have overwritten the version?
• are you synching with onedrive or similar and maybe overwrote with an older version?
• have you tried removing the template from your settings altogether.... then copy from your email (or whatever template you believe still contains the customisation) to a different folder and import it back into your settings?

Hard to guess...

Better to recreate your template based on this working TM.
