Trados 2014 inserts "blank" (white space) between all words and the any punctuation mark following it.

Hi there,

I am using SDL Trados Studio 2014 SP1 - 11.1.4095.0 

Since few days ( or weeks?) , I am noticing that SDL Trados 2014 inserts a "blank" (white space) in the target segment sentences between all translated words and the punctuation mark (e.g. full stop, comma, question mark etc.) following it. The text in the source segment is definitely clean, i.e. no unnecessary blanks are there. 

This is quite annoying and certainly a lot of manual work to remove all those unwarranted blanks.

Is there any way to avoid this? Any comment or advice is welcome.

Thanks and best regards

Shyam

  • @ Hi Paul,

    First of all please accept my apologies for not having answered to your (indeed) very fast response to my query. I must have overlooked your mail message in my mail box. I was of the opinion that no reply was made to my query till I read today Sandra's input and saw that you had already responded long time ago. I am sorry for that.

    Now, let me try to answer the questions you raised in your mail.

    1. Yes, I am using the Google Auto Suggest plug-in (as MT) available for Studio 2014.

       Apart from that I am not using any other MT.

    2. I have noticed that "sometimes" even CM phrases placed automatically in the target segment have these blanks.

    Day before yesterday I have installed ADL Studio 2014 and Multiterm 2014 SP2 package.  I must keep an eye to see whether the "blank (white-space)" problem still exists. I will feedback on this in about 2 -weeks from now.

    Thanks again and best regards

    Shyam
