"Add New Translation" and "Concordance Search" Functions Deactivated

Question

Hi Everyone. 
 I am very inexperienced at using SDL and I have a question: 
 I was sent a package with 4 documents by a client. All documents are very similar. And there should be a lot of CM/100% matches. I have completed the 1 st document, but I then noticed that when I started on the 2 nd the software was not recognizing any of the matches. It was then I noticed that the &ldquo;add as new translation&rdquo; and &ldquo;concordance search&rdquo; features are deactivated (appear as grey). I ran a repair and it still did not work. Does anyone have an idea why? Is it sometime with the file sent by the client? I would appreciate any help. 
 Thanks so much 
 Stephen

 Does the package contain TMs? Matches only appear if there is (at least) one translation memory.

Hi Stephen, No need. You can create your own TM, populate it with what you have translated so far and then use it for future translations. 
 Try this: 
 1. Open your translated file, go to Project Settings - All Language Pairs - Translation Memory and Automated Translation and create a translation memory, making sure that you store the file in a path that is easy for you to find later. 
 2. Go to the Home tab, then Batch Tasks and select the one called Update Main Translation Memories. This will save all your translated segments to your newly created translation memory.

3. After this, when translating new documents, make sure to add your translation memory under Project Settings - All Language Pairs - Translation Memory and Automated Translation - Use.

As long as you have added your translation memory to your project and the Update checkbox is checked, every new segment that you translate and confirm will be added to the translation memory and will be available to you for matching future segments.

Starter version does not support termbases, so that's why you can't add terms. 
 Also, TMs are limited to 5,000 TUs, so maybe you have already reached that capacity. If you go to to the German-> English language pair, and then to Translation Memory and Automated Translation , I think you'll be able to see a TM with 5,000 TUs&hellip; If so, that'd explain why you can't add another TM.
