The Word List in QA Checker...

Question

After spending 15 minutes manually adding words to the Word List in Studio 2021 and then losing all this work because somehow the screen blips and I am back in Project Settings, I wonder why there still is no import function.

Trados Studio 2021 Word List interface showing a missing term error with 'wrong term' and 'correct term' fields.

I can export the settings in a file, and the relevant lines look like this:

Screenshot of Trados Studio 2021 showing duplicated entries in the exported Word List settings file, with one entry under 'CorrectWord' and a duplicate under '_CorrectWord'.

My wonderment is why (with one entry) there are two entries in the file, one in <CorrectWord> etc and one in <_CorrectWord> etc.

@Daniel 
 I did some digging, and from what I can see, this part of Trados Studio has been the same since Studio 2009 and they just haven't bothered updating it. At the time, there might have been some reason why they did it that way, but from what I can see there is no good reason why they need two entries...
