2011 translation memories not working properly in Studio 2021

Hello everyone, hope you are well!

I recently started working in Studio 2021 and I simply copied my old translation memories from Studio 2011 to the Studio 2021/Translation Memories folder as the tutorial says there is no need to upgrade these files. Now when I create a new Studio project and use an original file-based translation memory, which is the result of several years of my work in Studio 2011, I only get some matches – for instance the words I only translated a few weeks ago in the old Studio won’t appear there.

Any thoughts on that?

Thank you!!

  • Well... I think my initial thoughts would be that you may not be looking at the TMs you think you are.  Back in the days of Studio 2011 we used to create Project TMs by default so perhaps you have a lot of TMs all over the place and didn't realise?  Many apologies for the newbie sort of question but  don't know how familiar you actually are with Studio despite having started in 2011 at least.

    Maybe run a search on your computer for *.sdltm and you "might" be surprised at how many TMs you have.  Also double check that the TM in 2011 which contains matches you expect is actually the same TM as the one you are now looking at in 2021.
