Just checking... but you have enabled your TM to update in your project?

Hi Paul,

Yes, both are checked for the project TM.

Sorry, I should've been clearer what was not exactly working. Auto-propagation is working when confirming a segment within the same file. But it's not working with 100%+ matches from TMs other than the project TM. I thought they should be automatically copied to the segment as soon as the cursor is moved to the segment but I need to manually copy the match. As soon as I manually copy a 100% match from the other TM, it confirms automatically. I believe it worked as supposed to be (copies and confirms automatically) a while ago.

I'm not sure I really follow you here.  It doesn't sound as though you are actually talking about auto-propagation at all.  Is it possible for you to create a short video perhaps and show us what you are doing and what you expect to happen?  Also include a look into your project settings so we can see how your TMs are organised.

Hi Paul,

Thank you for your reply. It is possible that it may be something other than auto-propagate. My point is that I'd like to get the 100%+ match from the TM (from past projects) automatically copied to the segment as soon as the cursor is moved to the segment. Sorry I'm not able to make a video due to the confidentiality of the content but I'll look into the issue a little more on my end. Thank you.

Perhaps check that your TMs are all enabled, also that you have not mixed and matched by having some in the specific language pair, and some in the All Language pairs.  It would of been helpful if you could have shown a screenshot of your settings page where we can actually see the TMs and how you have them set up.

Also just checking... you have added the TMs from the past projects to this project I hope?  Trados Studio doesn't automatically look at every TM you have used in Trados since you first started using it.

Hi Paul,

The settings are for the All Language pair, not for the specific language pair. Here is the project's TM setting. Does this help?

Reiko Ando

ok - so that should prove your three TMs are enabled and one is set to update.  When you click in a segment that contains a match from one of your previous project TMs is the match found in the TM even though it doesn't place it?

Although as I type this I'm wondering if what you actually need is this setting under Automation?

That's it! Thank you, Paul. This is what I was looking for. I'm sorry for the confusion.
