Hi,
I have the same problem but with Trados Studio 2024. 
I'm surprised that nobody answered to Ellen's question. Because, it does look like a big bug to me. 
Can somebody help with that? 

Good morning! I am pleased to let you know that eventually I found a solution myself!

In  the editor go back to the document you have been translating. Select the  segment where you receive the message as quoted in my post. With right mouse click or via the menu set the segment back to "draft". Then select via the menu "Home", "Confirm", "Confirm" (any choice will do). It might take a few moments and sometimes you will have to close the document and open it again. But in the end the segment is confirmed and transferred to the TM. Good Luck!

Good morning! Thanks for your answer. It may help in the short run. 

But, there is no way I'm going to do that manually for all segments in all TMs!

The TM are supposed to update automatically when I correct the translation and confirm the segment. At least it was like that until recently.

It doesn't happen anymore. I didn't take too much notice. But it's actually a big problem, because the TM are left with errors. It's with all TMs now. 

Paul I think it's a bug or maybe I touched a parameter by mistake. Can you please help me? 

Thank you in advance for your assistance with this.

To make sure a TM is updated, the "Update" checkbox MUST be selected. If you have more than one TM in project, select just one TM.

Here is an example of settings from a project with three main TMs and the corresponding project TMs:

When you have finished your translation, simply run a batch task "Update main TMs". When doing so, you can decide, how the TM shall be updated. In your case the "Overwrite existing units" is the best choice. This way all changes will never be lost.

You are absolutely right! In my case I encountered the problem only in a few segments. To make sure my TMs are correct I created a new TM based on the completed xliff translation.  

Hi Jerzy, even though I ticked the "Updated" box running the batch task - It did not work in my case

This usually should work, provided your segments have the statuses selected. Other segment status will NOT update the TM.

Hi Jerzy, 

Thanks a lot. I do select the "Update" checkbox all the time, of course. But, it didn't update anyway.

Why should only one be selected? It didn't bother before. 

And why do I need to run a batch task "Update main TMs"? Shouldn't it be done automatically? I never had to do that... (Doing that works, but it's more work ;-))

If you select more than one TM for update, you will get a "Duplicate match" penalty, so instead of a 100% you will have 2 of 99% each.

There are several methods of working with Trados Studio. You can work with single file projects and only have the segments in TM which were confirmed during the translation process. However, you can also simply run the batch afterwards to make sure really all changes have been adapted there. Not bothering about such possibilities and other possible ways of working with TS is not the best solution, as you may miss much better ways of doing your job, if you bother. This is like driving cars: you can be an amateur driver or become a professional. We need to be professionals in TS, as this is our working tool, the main tool for many of us.

It's not only the driver, it's also the car... If I need to add oil or water after each drive, it doesn't mean I'm a better driver... It means my car has a problem... ;-)

I don't think that I use single file projects. I use a few different Local Projects with a few files, and then I use several TMs, because I used to have a TM for each job. Now I use one for Marketing, one for Real Estate, for example.

I don't really know what the Duplicate march does... It's getting a bit complex with the time...So I guess you say that I need to learn more ;-)

Thanks a lot
