Such mess happens when using Studio with the translate single method approach.

I think pressing "Reset to defaults" in this view should resolve the problem. Other possibility is to declare other Project template to be default, remove the previous default one and import a fresh one from here: C:\Program Files (x86)\SDL\SDL Trados Studio\Studio16\ProjectTemplates

To avoid such problems in the future, use Project approach instead of Single document or define language pairs and add the corresponding TMs only there.

On a side note: an improvement in files and folders management here is really necessary.

True! Most of my colleagues prefer to translate "single documents", however, I always create Projects and don´ t have this "mess", as you said:).

Honestly, I did not know that translating single documents is the reason for that . Will search for that "Reset to defaults" option now. 

As for the "folders management", we have one shared folder on a local server, and there is only one memory for each pair of languages. So I have no idea why these "file names" reappear, because if you activate any of them , the " memory does not exist" error appears.

Thank you for answering, Jerzy!

Oh, shared folder... Well, the names with "copy" will be most probably a result of this. Someone has stored the TM locally, then it got synchronized and so on. Studio is not really suitable to share resources via cloud.

If you advise your colleagues to create language pairs here:

Then go there:

Then add the TM for this very language pair here. Do so for all necessary language pairs.

When opening a document for translation and selecting the corresponding language pair, Studio will show you ONLY the one TM from there. NO necessity to change any setting anymore. This way it is much simpler to keep order in your work.

Note: when doing this, the TM field in All language pairs MUST remain EMPTY! You may NOT add any TM there anymore, as otherwise nothing will work. Studio hates chaos!

We have done it! Works perfectly! Thank you soooooooooo much!!!!! That was a really helpful post!!!

As for the shared folder, we all work on the same projects, so we MUST share what we have, use the same terminology... Our bigBIG problem is that each shared memory is file-based... You can imagine how stuck we get sometimes....
