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

Hello,  

It seems you are experiencing an issue with the translation percentages in Trados Studio when translating into Japanese. Here are some steps you can take to troubleshoot and potentially resolve the issue:  

**Step 1:** Verify the Translation Memory (TM) settings. Ensure that the TM you are using is correctly set up and updated. Since you mentioned it is a clean new TM, confirm that it contains the necessary segments for your translation.  

**Step 2:** Check the segmentation rules. If the TM is creating two segments from one, you may need to adjust the segmentation rules to prevent this. You can add an exception to the Full Stop rule as suggested in your context.  

**Step 3:** Review the translation process. The percentage match can be affected by various factors, including how many files are added to the project and the number of target languages set. Ensure that the translation process is being followed correctly.  

**Step 4:** Confirm all segments. Go to the 'Review' tab and click on 'Confirm All' to ensure that all segments are confirmed and saved in the TM.  

**Step 5:** If the issue persists, consider running a Batch Task -> Pre-translate to get the latest translation results from the TM. This can help ensure that the TM is up to date with the current translation units.  

If you continue to experience discrepancies in the translation percentages, it may be beneficial to check for any updates to Trados Studio that could address known bugs or issues related to TM behavior.

I don't know if the AI helped or not as you left it marked as a verified answer... but nonetheless I tested this with a clean TM in 2024 and I get these results:

Please confirm the following:

1. what version of Trados Studio you are using?
2. what other tools/plugins you are using that could be influencing what you see?  In fact, just what other tools/plugins are you using.

In fact I realised I used the same source for all three segments so did it again:

Same, correct result.

I don't use Trados 2022, but I have seen a similar report on that behavior either (with Trados Studio 2022 SR1 17.1.6.16252). Try to type the word "percent" instead of the % char for the target segment 1, confirm it and see what happens then. I bet you would get the % character for segments 2 and 3 even though you type "percent" for segment 1. This is not ok too but it happens in most cases. The real weird thing is that on some rare occasions Trados puts the word "percent" in segment 2 and 3 even when you type the % character in segment 1. I have seen only one case reported on such "reverse" behavior.

Scenario 1: When you have three similar segments that mention different values in %, if you type "percent" in the first segment instead of %, the repetitions (segments 2 and 3) would still end up with the % character overriding the word "percent". This happens in 99 cases out of 100.
Scenario 2: When you have three similar segments that mention different values in %, if you type the % character in the first segment, the repetitions (segments 2 and 3) would end up with the word "percent" overriding the character "%". I have seen only 1 report. This one is the second.

I have seen this bug for En>Ru too. Not me but a colleague of mine experienced it. We couldn't find a solution or fix.
