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 Paul,

    I attached your TM to project and problematic TUs update correctly in your TM... but not every one. First placeable, TZ26: updates and I can see a CM match. But then next segment, TZ27: shows no results in TM window and even so does not update.
    Nevertheless it's a bit of an advance since Ley 39/2015 as an example, works as expected, updates and gives 100%. Not sure how to going on. I compared settings of both TMs but apparently are same. Would you mind if a send you the whole project with my TMs attached? To me it's happenning both in catalan and valencian.

    Many thanks,
