Alignement feature of Studio (2022)

Hello,

I'm having trouble importing all content of an alignment project in the TM. The system excludes systematically all dossciated segments, even though they were connected and validated in the alignement file checking process.

I couldn't find any parameter to change that.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

  • Hello Ludivine,

    I understand you're having trouble importing all content of an alignment project into the Translation Memory (TM) in Trados Studio 2022. The system seems to exclude dissociated segments even though they were connected and validated in the alignment file checking process.

    Here are some steps you can follow to troubleshoot this issue:

    Step 1: Check the Quality Value

    The quality value of each Translation Unit (TU) when imported into the TM is crucial. Confirmed segments will have a quality value of 100, while unconfirmed will have the value assigned by Trados Studio during the initial alignment. Make sure the segments you're trying to import have the correct quality value.

    Step 2: Choose the Correct Import Option

    There are two import options: Quick and Advanced. The Quick import only imports connected segments into the TM specified at the start of the alignment. The Advanced import allows you to change the target TM and import all aligned pairs. You can also specify extra options for the import and custom field values to be applied to the imported TUs. If you're not seeing all your segments, it might be worth trying the Advanced import option.

    Step 3: Check for Duplicate Segments

    If there's a discrepancy between the number of segments in the alignment document and the number of imported TUs, it could be because some of the segments are already represented in the TM. Trados Studio will not import duplicate segments.

    Step 4: Check the Connection Structure

    If the aligned file has a complicated connection structure, the total number of alignment pairs may be lower than the number of aligned segments reported when the alignment is finalized. This could explain why not all segments are being imported.

    I hope these steps help you resolve the issue. If you continue to experience problems, please let me know so I can provide further assistance.
