So your problem is not that you import and you get an empty TM?  You solved that one?  It's just that you no longer see an AT status for a TMX created off a machine translation project.  You have highlighted the original translation memory format attribute, which is Translators Workbench and not machine translation specifically.  The important thing is that the creationID is "MT!".

However, this will only work in later versions of Studio if the SDLTM was created in an older version of Studio.  The reason for this is that a few years ago a decision was taken to change the import behaviour so that the act of importing was essentially considered an approval on your part for the segments to be used as a Translation Memory... ie. they are now approved and not just unedited MT.

The best solution I can suggest is you penalise the TM you created from this TMX so it always gets a 99% match or lower.  IF you have imported the TMX into an existing SDLTM already then create a filter mismatch penalty so you get the results like this when they come from TUs created by MT!:

Hi,

Thanks to you I can in fact use the tmx created from machine translation, but it is quite annoying to have to edit the tmx first. What I don't understand is that - without having edited the file first - I can import the tmx into a TM in Studio 2019 without any problems. In Studio 2022 nothing is imported. The problem is only with these MT.tmx's and not f.ex. *AL.tmx or *RET.tmx.

I first discovered the missing AT-status when I upgraded my 2019 version of Studio a while ago. I will try to adapt your suggestions - or just live with it as it is.

Thanks a lot for your help.

Best regards

Lars

I have no idea what all these files are... looks like some naming convention your customer uses.  I guess the problem just relates to MT! as I already explained.

Hi Paul,

Do you know where I can get technical help in order to solve this problem as it is a problem which only exists in Studio 2022?

I have asked my former colleagues in the European Commission. They have Studio 2021 installed and they have no problems importing these tmx's created with machine translation - neither with earlier versions of Studio.

Kind regards

Lars
