Translation Memory not updating alphanumeric strings and other placeables

Almudena Ballester

Hi community:

I am not sure if this is a normal behaviour for a TM updating. The affected translation memory refuses to update segments that only contain an alphanumeric string, like TZ26 for example, unless I translate them different. If source and target remain exact (as they should), the segment is not updated in TM. The same happens with other short segments having a combination of a recognized term and a date, for example Ley 39/2015. In termbase I do have ley->llei (valencian). 

A warning is shown, reading "Failed to update translation unit. No errors found" (see image, my message in Spanish)

It is not a global problem with updating. In fact, all other segments are correctly updated.

This behaviour is not convenient since those segments are common and we need to 100% pretranslate them. Also analysis may be affected, I presume..? 

I tried reindexing - no success. 

I'm attaching some screenshots to illustrate the problem. 

The translation memory languages are Spanish->Valencian. Hopefully it's not a culture-related problem?

 

Many thanks in advance,

 

Almudena

    Hi Almudena,

    This was very useful and might be related to using Spanish (Modern) and some others... but this is not conclusive yet. We have logged a critical bug for this under LTB-1612 for your reference.

    The team identified a workaround to at least get the TM updated for now. The issue seems to be related to Fragment Alignment and if you create a TM with the option ‘Support Fragment Alignment’ unchecked then the TUs are stored in the TM without any problems. You can't uncheck your existing one as this won't help, you would need to recreate it don't use this option for now.

    Hopefully this is something we can fix and release as an update in the near future. Apologies for the inconvenience.

    Regards

    Paul
