Hello,

I understand your concern about non-breaking hyphens not displaying correctly in Trados Studio Translation Memories. Here are some steps you can follow to resolve this issue:

Step 1: Open Trados Studio and go to the "File" menu.

Step 2: Select "Options" from the drop-down menu.

Step 3: In the Options window, navigate to the "Editor" section.

Step 4: Under the "Editor" section, select "Auto-substitution".

Step 5: In the Auto-substitution settings, ensure that the "Hyphen to non-breaking hyphen" option is checked.

Step 6: Click "OK" to save the changes.

This should ensure that non-breaking hyphens are stored correctly in your Translation Memories and display as such in Trados Studio. If the issue persists, it might be due to the specific formatting of the source document. In such cases, you might need to manually adjust the hyphenation in the source document before importing it into Trados Studio.

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

Best regards,

I get this in the Translation Results window (Trados Studio 2022):

Although using another tag view, I can get this (the tag has almost no width):

Is this what you get? If not, please post screenshot of what you see.

BTW: Tag view is changed here:

Thank you Jesús, This is what I get in the Translation Results window:

You can notice, while the source text is strictly identical, that it does not show up as a 100% match, and dates are not correctly displayed in french (1922 instead of 19-22).

If I use normal hyphens, it shows up correctly (here 19-22) in the Translation Results window.

Any idea how to sort this out?

It’s not a 100% match, since there is an extra hyphen after the number 19 in Source. That’s why it’s only a 99%.

If you press CTRL+T (or the button ) in the Translation Results window, does the non-breaking hyphen between 19 and 22 populates the Target segment?

I can't repro it in my Trados Studio 2022.

Hello,

If I press CTRL+T, the non-breaking hyphen does not populate the target segment.

ok, so far it makes sense to me.

Are you sure that the non-breaking hyphen goes correctly to the final generated DOCX document? Could youi please test it for this particular segment?
