Hello,

It seems like you're experiencing an issue where the Quality Assurance (QA) check in Trados Studio is not picking up on certain terms that are not translated as per the term base. This can indeed be frustrating, especially when it leads to client dissatisfaction.

Here are a few steps you can take to troubleshoot this issue:

Step 1: Check the Term Base Settings

Ensure that the term base is correctly set up and linked to your project. Also, verify that the term in question is correctly entered in the term base with the correct source and target language pair.

Step 2: Check the Language Pair

Sometimes, issues can arise if the term has been added for a specific sub-language in your term base, but your source language in the project is different. For example, if the term is added for English UK in the term base, but your source language is English US in the project, the QA check might not pick up on the term. If this is the case, you might need to add the term for the specific sub-language used in your project.

Step 3: Create a Termbase without Sub-languages

If the issue persists, you might want to consider creating a termbase without sub-languages. This can help avoid issues related to terms not being recognized due to differences in sub-languages.

Step 4: Update Trados Studio

Ensure that you're using the latest version of Trados Studio. Sometimes, issues can be resolved by simply updating the software.

Remember, the goal of the QA check is to help you ensure the quality of your translations. If it's not picking up on certain terms, it's important to investigate and resolve the issue to maintain the quality of your work.

I hope these steps help you resolve the issue. If you need further assistance, don't hesitate to ask.

Best regards,

Hi Guillaume Goemanne ,

Have you got Tag verification check box ticked in your Project Settings?

Hi Jesús Prieto ,

Yes, that option is activated, along with the others in this window.

Shouldn't it be?

Guillaume Goemanne 

Ups, sorry! I should have said that the Terminology Verifier checkbox needs to be ticked. I understand it is ticked, because you said that there are some warnings… Sorry for the confusion.

My only guess is that you have several terbases, but Terminolgy Verifier uses only the first termbase (the one at the top). Is that termbase at the very top?

No problem, I suspected as much! I only have one term base active, so that's not the problem either, unfortunately.

I hope that someone else can help you. Meanwhile, please vote down my answers, so your post appears as unanswered and state the version and build of your MultiTerm.

I've done just that, as I didn't know it worked that way, but thank you nonetheless for wanting to help me out!

This ties exactly into a problem I was going to post about today. See video (and skip ahead during the verify to about 2:25, I couldn't figure out how to fast forward it):

It is an issue that RWS will need to solve.

Seeing that it works for individual segments, does it work if you click on the Verify button on the Review ribbon (instead of pressing the shortcut (F8)?

Jesús Prieto 

Wow, nice call! Using the Verify button in the ribbon did indeed find the incorrect words. Anyone know what gives?
