You should not need to do anythng.  The very fact you have selected the TMs as AnyTM means it works in both directions.  So the exact same selections as you have there will work for projects in both directions.

Dear Paul,

Thank you for your reply.

It works if I create a new project from scratch, but it's not working with a project I've done in the past...

Please advise

Thank you

I'm a bit confused by this.  Maybe have a read of this to understad how this works and it might help you understand where your problem is coming from based on what you used and when:

Hi Paul,

Thank you very much for your reply.

I'd already read the article but it's not helpful to my case.

I don't know if it's a settings' issue, because fundamentally the TMs seem to be working, however, I have so far three scenarios:

- if I create two brand new documents, one in ENG and one in ITA (say, of only one sentence each and its corresponding translation in the other document), if I feed any of them into Trados, the TMs and AnyTMs seem to be working in both ways;

- if I feed an ENG document (previously translated into ITA and justified in Trados), the ITA translation will automatically populate 100%, so the TMs is definitely working; however, if I feed the same ITA document back into Trados, the corresponding ENG version will not populate; it would remain at 0%.

- for some other instances, instead, Trados won't auto-populate neither the ITA nor the ENG version, though they were definitely translated using Trados in at least one direction!

Please advise, I'm really at a loss here

Isn't it possible to do a screen share by any chance?

Thank you very much!

Presumably you have created a new project in the opposite direction and fed the ITA document into it?  Just checking.

Perhaps worth checking to see whether you used a Project TM or not.  If you did it's quite possible you have not updated the translation memories properly.

Hi Paul,

Yes, I've created a new project in the opposite direction and fed the ITA document into it.

Yes, all TMs are set on the Project Settings, however, they're all ticked, upgraded and updated.

I think the problem lays somehow with the updating of the AnyTMs.

Please see the screenshot:

for the above language pair, the dimension of the .anytmreverse is slightly larger than the actual one, which I believe should be the case.

Whereas here:

the .anytmreverse is smaller than the actual one.

How do I rectify that?

Please advise,

Thank you
