Hello,

It seems like you're experiencing an issue with auto-propagation of 100% matches from Neural Machine Translation (NMT) in Trados Studio 2019. This could be due to a few reasons.

Step 1: Check your settings. Ensure that you have the 'Auto-propagate exact matches to confirmed segments' option enabled in your project settings. This should allow 100% matches to be auto-propagated.

Step 2: Understand the nature of NMT. NMT does not store translations like a traditional Translation Memory (TM) does. Instead, it generates translations on-the-fly based on the input it receives. This means that even if a segment is confirmed once, it won't necessarily give a 100% match the next time because the NMT is not 'remembering' the translation.

Step 3: Consider upgrading your Trados Studio version. While Trados Studio 2019 does support NMT, newer versions may have improved functionality and better integration with NMT providers.

Step 4: If you're still experiencing issues, it might be worth considering using a traditional TM for segments that you want to auto-propagate. This way, once a segment is confirmed, it will be stored in the TM and should give a 100% match the next time it appears.

Remember, NMT is a tool to assist with translation and may not always behave in the same way as a traditional TM. It's always a good idea to review all translations, whether they come from a TM or NMT, to ensure accuracy.

I hope this helps clarify things for you. If you have any other questions, feel free to ask.

Hi Trados AI,

All this sounds logical. I have correct settings for auto progation, Step 4 "This way, once a segment is confirmed, it will be stored in the TM and should give a 100% match the next time it appears." - How do I do this? Is it not enought that I confirm the match that comes from NMT and the MT is updated with it? I dont get why after confirming NMT match TS insist on using NMT next time exactly on the same segment and NOT MT.   Should I just disable NMT? 

Hello, I have the same issue after upgrading Studio 2021 to the latest version BUT without using NMT. I have this one project where there are plenty of files in each package with a huge TM and my own local TMs. Normally in the 2021 version, I was able to confirm the many 100% matches and CM segments by clicking "pre-translate" and "confirm 100% matches". It stopped doing this entirely, meaning regardless if I try to batch process all files in the project or just a single one. It is also not showing me "Translated" segments in the project view when it should show me many of those. 
I have gone through all the steps you have previously discussed and it makes no difference whatsoever. It is simply not doing this. The files are analyzed correctly where I can see the matches and 100% and CM correctly. When I open the files, those segments are pre-filled and labelled 100% or CM. It is quite a manual task to confirm them all by hand and also the project is more stable when I do the pre-translate step. I am at a total loss why that is. I thought before that maybe it was something with the files themselves but that is not the case. And: it all worked fine up until the upgrade.
I just did a test using the old 2021 version, where everything was "normal" and it pre-translated. Then I reopened that package in the 2022 version of Studio and I had the same problem again. I don't understand this.
Does anyone have new insights?
Thanks!

Have you checked in your settings under Editor -> Automation that the option to "Confirm segment after applying an exact match" is checked?

Hi Paul, Yes, that's all check-marked. What I have further discovered in the same setup is that it also does not auto-propagate segments with absolute numbers that I edit and then accept. :/
