Fragment Alignment, Translation Model unable to build a translation model

When I try to activate fragment alignment, the dialogue window always look like this. If I click ON at the top of the window, Fragment Alignment Support window runs a process (without error), I close it, close also the main Fragment Alignment window, and nothing happens. I reopen the setting window, and upLIFT is set to OFF again.


And Translation Model says "Unable to build a translation model...." as you see on the image. 

As a result, I cannot activate Fragment Match search.

Trados 2024, Windows 11

Screenshot of Trados Studio Translation Memory Settings showing Fragment Alignment Status with 'Off' selected. A warning under Translation Model states 'Unable to build a translation model, because the total amount of translation units is less than the required threshold.' There are 1853 unaligned translation units and a note that there is no need to update the alignment information.

    "Question improvement suggestion": Please provide more information such as the version of Trados Studio you are using, the operating system, and any recent changes you made to the system or software. Also, it would be helpful to know if you have tried any troubleshooting steps already.

    In the meantime, based on the information you have provided, here is a suggested answer to your question:

    Hello,

    Based on your description, it seems like you're having trouble activating the fragment alignment feature in Trados Studio. Here are some steps you can try:

    Step 1: Ensure that your Translation Memory (TM) has more than 1,000 Translation Units (TUs). Fragment alignment works optimally with 5,000 TUs or more.

    Step 2: Try to rebuild the translation model. You can do this by selecting 'Build Translation Model' after enabling fragment alignment on a TM.

    Step 3: Check if there are any unaligned translation units in your TM. If there are, try to align them by selecting the 'Align Translation Units' option.

    Step 4: If you have not enabled the 'Align new content automatically' option, consider doing so. This will automatically align new content, which could resolve your issue.

    Step 5: If you observe that automatic alignment affects performance, you might want to disable the 'Align new content automatically' option.

    If these steps do not resolve your issue, it might be a more complex problem that requires further investigation.

    I hope this answer addressed your question. If not, please reject the answer, add the question improvement suggestion information, and click the RWS Community AI checkbox on the right to try again.

    I wrote that the Build Translation Model button is GREY. NOT AVAILABLE.

    How do I enable fragment alignment on a TM?
