CM segments in empty TM

Hi, everybody! I'm reaching out because I don't know what's going on with my Trados 2022. Every time I translate a segment *manually* and confirm it, I see it as "CM" (though the TM is empty cause I'm translating everything from scratch). Any ideas why this happens?

Thanks a lot! Slight smile

    As soon you start storing segments in TM, it is NOT empty anymore. And even if this TM would contain just ONE segment, which would happen to be the very first one in a document, you could close Studio entirely without storing anything and restart it, the reopen this very same document with this very same TM and you would have a context match there. During your translation the segments are stored in the TM including the information necessary for Context Match, which is:

    • the current segment is the same as in the TM
    • the document structure level of the current segment is the same (i.e. list item, heading, table cell...)
    • the previous segment is the same as it was in the document, where the next segment has been translated for the first time
    • the preceding segment is translated exactly the same as it was in the document, where the next segment has been translated for the first time
    • the document structure level of the preceeding segment is the same as it was in the document, where the next segment has been translated for the first time

    Under this conditions you get a CM. And because you simply go back in your document, previous no matches are now context matches. If you change the order of the sentences in your document and open this modified one, you should get 100% matches, but rather no CM matches.
