I have a Microsoft Laptop Surface 16GB RAM, 512GB SSD with Snapdragon X Plus and have installed Trados Studio 2024. Everything works fine, except the ‘Insert Symbols’ function. I enter the Spanish symbols - the computer has a german keyboard -, they are saved and I use them, but when after restart Trados they disappear and I have to enter them again.
My technical knowledge is limited, but could it be caused by the processor? Any (other) ideas?
Thank you in advance!
I enter the Spanish symbols
Which Spanish symbols? áéíóúüñ?
the computer has a german keyboard
Even with a non-Spanish keyboard, you can enter keys such as áéíóúüñ. Just change the keyboard layout in Windows settings (in Windows 10, I think it's here):
but when after restart Trados they disappear and I have to enter them again.
Are you sure you save your job with the usual shortcut CTRL+S or clicking the floppy disk icon?
Do you mean that the non-Spanish characters remain and that only the Spanish characters are gone?
Could you please tell us the full version? It’s in Help > About Trados Studio.
Thank you for your replay.
The symbols I enter are ñ ¡ ¿ [ ]
Changing the keyboard layout might be an option if the problem can't be resolved.
The symbols don't disappear in the text, but in the function. I have to enter them again in the ‘Insert Symbol’ function.
Version: Trados Studio 2024 - 18.0.1.2259
So the symbols added in one session don’t stick after restarting Trados Studio. 
In the above example, É and Á are gone after I restart Trados Studio. Is this what you mean?
If so I can repro your issue, but I don’t know if this the expected behaviour… Confirm that and later I’ll ping someone from RWS.
That's exactly what I mean :-)
If I understand the question correctly, it is not a design problem, but the symbols do not remain fixed.
Anyway, I’d select a German keyboard in Windows. This is much much better than inserting Spanish characters in that way or any other way.
