Studio 15: Translation Results window shows source language ...

Question

... rather than "no matches found". 
 With my Internet down for a week now and a few relaxing days before the new year, I thought I'd work through the Getting Started workbook and the sample files. 
 The Translation Results window only shows the source language part of the segment rather "no matches found". 
 I had the same problem with a relatively small and simple single doc translation with a lot of repetitions. In the end I hand-copied/pasted the repetitive target segments :-/ as I never found out what the problem was. 
 BTW using the community on a mobile is an experience :) 
 Thanks for your comments - Uli

It sounds as if you haven't assigned a TM to the project. 
 Have a read of this blog post and see if it works using the source document you had with repetitions. 
 Good luck!

 Autopropagation doesn't need a TM. 100% matches are autopropagated even if no TM is attached to a project. Maybe your settings are lower than 100%? Go to file>options>editor>Auto-propagation. Minimum match value should be set to 100%. 
 
 Also, try translating one segment, then click "confirm and move to next segment" to go to the next segment (you can probably do this with the shortcut Ctrl+Enter). Now click back in the translated segment with the mouse. You should see a 100% match (or CM) up in the Translation Results window. Does that work?

Hi Ulrike, 
 
If you have time perhaps we can take a quick look at this together over Skype. I'm sure there are some fundamental issues here we can resolve if we stop guessing. Drop me an email at pfilkin@sdl.com with your Skype details if this is ok?
