I have Trados Studio 2021 Freelance.

I have completed a translation of a company’s financial statements containing an awful lot of figures and tables, and want to review it onscreen. All segments have been approved and saved, as has the entire sdlxliff document.

I make an amendment to a random segment and try to save – and get up the message ‘Auto-propagating translation’.

I absolutely don’t want to do any more auto-propagatiing, so I press cancel –

…. And I wait, and I wait.

 It doesn’t happen every time, but it is enormously time-consuming when it does.

Why does this happen, why does it happen only sometimes, and how can I prevent it happening?
