Retrofit problem

I have noticed a problem with retrofit on texts that have manual line breaks. When I try to accept the changes in Studio I get an error message (in German Fehler beim Einfügen der Marker für nachverfolgte Änderungen - presumably in English error on insertion of markers for tracked changes). I set up two identical files, one with and one without manual line breaks; only the one without manual line breaks cleaned properly, the other one generated the error message. I recently changed to Windows 10, which may or may not be part of the problem. Any suggestions?

  • Hi Michael,

    If you mean the corrected target file had new lines inserted then you are probably pushing the boundaries of what this feature is capable of doing. It is intended for light editing and not heavy changes. If you get many of these it's probably better to open the revised target as a translatable file and then add your TM using AnyTM so you can ensure the corrected translation into your TM that way.

    You might also find that if you run the alignment for the retrofit this might let you do a little more, but it's not really intended for heavy changes like completely new lines and paragraphs.

    Regards
