When using Track Changes, Trados Studio 2024 deletes the correct sentence and inserts it again with TC

When using Track Changes, after pushing Ctrl+Enter at a segment which needs no modification Trados Studio 2024 deletes the sentence and inserts it again with TC, so that I have to go back and reject the modification. It is not a general problem, it happens only at some segments (and doesn't happen at other segments with the same content). Any idea what I could do to resolve this issue? Thank you.

  • I use the same settings (at Automation, Auto-propagation, Revew) as in previous Trados Studio versions, and while the older versions work fine, Trados Studio 2024 does not. I tried to make a video, too, but the quality is not good :(

    Do you mean that after confirming A letár, the 2 previous segments were corrected and added track changes?

    If so, I can’t repro this behaviour in my Trados Studio 2024 with your XLIFF:

    Before:

    Trados Studio editor showing segments with translations, including 'Importance of inventory' translated as 'A lelt r fontoss ga' with CM status and spelling errors underlined.

    And after confirming:

    Trados Studio editor showing updated segments with 'Inventory' marked as 100% match and 'Importance of inventory' translated as 'A lelt r fontoss ga' with CM status and spelling errors underlined.

    With this settings (are yours the same?):

    Trados Studio options window displaying Auto-propagation settings with 'Enable Auto-propagation' checked, 'Auto-propagate from' set to 'First segment in the document', and 'Never' selected for prompt user.

    Do you confirm that you can repro it using the XLIFF you uploaded here?

    Does it work if you select Always in File > Options > Editor > Auto-propagation to ask for confirmation (instead of Never).

    I see that the Auto-propgation starts in the first segment, but you may want to check from that segment to the end of the file. If so, please select Next segment in document instead of First segment in the document. If you work for an agency, they usually inform the exact settings you need here. Certainly, the combination First segment in the document and Never is a big NO for me.

  • My settings are good (Next segment + Never; I tried with prompting, but it's annoying, and the problem stays the same).

    The problem does not appear when confirming "A leltár" but after confirming the first "A leltár fontossága". When I do this, the second and third "A leltár fontossága" gets crossed over, and the same content is written there with track changes.

    ok, I understand now your issue. I can’t repro it either in Trados Studio 2024. I edit a little segment 9 to show you I’m working with TC, undo that edits and then I confirm semgent 10. Segments 11 and 12 are OK:

    Trados Studio interface showing segments 9 to 12. Segment 9 is edited, segments 10 to 12 are confirmed with green CM tags. Hungarian text 'A leltar fontossaga' is visible.

    Are you sure it happens to the same XLIFF you uploaded here?

    Do you have your Trados Studio up-to-date? The build (in Help > About) should be Trados Studio 2024 - 18.0.2.3255. If your’s is below that, please update Trados Studio 2024.

    I also cannot reproduce this.  See attached and perhaps it'll help us get a bit further!

  • Dear Paul, a big thank you for all your efforts.

    I reset my settings (but they were the same even before that):  

    Trados Studio options window showing Auto-propagation settings, with 'Enable Auto-propagation' checked and 'Minimum match value' set to 100.

    And here's my video: 

    As you can see "A leltár" changes to "Leltár", but without track changes, and "A leltár fontossága" gets deleted and written there again with track changes.

    Thanks for that video, it was helpful.  I think I see part of your problem now at least, and I think it may be a bug - will check with support.

    I filtered on just these with track changes on, and also disabled this option (just in case):

    Checkbox option labeled 'Turn off Track Changes when applying TM matches' is unchecked.

    When I confirm the first one I get this:

    Trados Studio interface showing segments with 'Inventory' translated to 'Leltar' with 100% match status and no track changes icons.

    I expected this to produce tracked changes since every one was affected.  This is the same in translation mode (with track changes activated) and review mode.

    I also tried starting with a fresh file and the same thing happened.  In the absence of any other ideas I'll log this with support and see if they can either show us the error of our ways, or log a bug.
