Note that this is not Machine Translation... it's Automated Translation from Studio

However, why not filter on them all and then copy source to target.

Yes, that's what I do now. However the AT blue marker persists.
Ok, from your reply I guess this AT status is imminent. Will live with that. No big problem.
Thank you Paul.

If I select Copy Source to Target (or Clear target Segment), the AT blue icon is gone:

How do you do it that the AT icon is kept?

I think you should ask those who developed the software.
Your segments have been already confirmed with blue AT marker too, which means that you observe exactly the same behavior as I do.
Yes, if I confirm segments first and then re-insert them again (the way you do), their status changes. I didn't know that. Thank you for the tip. But isn't this workflow too complicated for such a simple task? Insert > Confirm > Insert again > Confirm again... I mean not even doing this trick but getting to know how to do it. Needs brainstorm and experiments to figure out.

I'm really struggling with this one.  The AT status is merely telling you that your TM automatically translated these segments because it knows what to do with them.  If yo don't like this then turn off the recognition in your TM settings and handle them manually.  However... that's going to take you just as long as handling them afterwards and removing the little AT symbol.

Perhaps we should be asking you what you want exactly?  How should this be handled?  Is it simply the fact it has an AT status that's bothering you?  What would you suggest we put there to tell users it was the computer that handled this for them automatically?

This is exactly what I am asking about. You could avoid struggling if you gave me an instruction on how to "turn off the recognition in my TM" at the very beginning of this convo.
Now I've got what you mean. Thank you.

Update: Even now, when you gave me a hint, I still have to google  for "how to stop recognizing hyperlinks". Why not just give a strightforward instruction: go to there, press that button. That's it. No! I must apply my best detective skills to investigate. Right, the correct word is "investigate" how to use Trados. That's what I'm doing at the moment. Why on erath it is all that complicated?!

Well Stepan Konev... my apologies for not telling you immediately how to disable the Acronym and Hyperlink recognition in your TM.  My first thought was whether you were confusing this with machine translation.  My second thought, where I struggled later, was in understanding why you wanted to go to all this hassle and lose this capability when the effort involved in working manually, compared to removing them later (or just dealing with them before you start working), will be the same.

My apologies for that too!

Dear Paul , Stepan Konev , Jesús Prieto !!!

I know I am kinda of late with the question....but....I did not get how to disable these AT translations.

Current Trados version: 2024.

I was looking for the hyperlinks, emails, dates, numbers, etc. recognition option and ...did not find it. 

It´s in the general options, right? 

Thanks in advance, guys!

Here?

Jesús, you mean, this action must be performed for each TM???

Yulia Kovalskaya 

For each TM you wish those items to be recognised.

Ok, so in case the TM recognized them, they appear marked as AT, right? Ok, gonna adjust this list.

But then, what about hyperlinks and email addresses? They are not included here...

Uff, this requires TM reindexation...

I don't think this is possible.

For auto-sustitution to kick in, you also need check here:

If a segment is a date or an alphanumeric string, for example, and settings above are properly set, yes the segment will be marked as AT.

Thank you very much for the explanations, Jesus!!! I owe you a coffee! :)

I can't say whether it applies to Trados 2022 or 2024, but in my 2021 version the AT status appears when I check this box:
File > Options > Editor > Automation > Apply AT when no TM match is found.
If you want to disable it, uncheck that box.

*Keep in mind that you don't necessarily need to have AT providers enabled (like Cloud-based resorces, etc.).
The AT status can be applied or not applied based on the above mentioned setting even if you enable just a regular TM alone.
