In the meantime, based on the information you have provided, here is a suggested answer to your question: Hello, It seems you are encountering an issue with missing reference tags in your SDLXLIFF file while translating in Trados Studio 2024. Here are some steps you can take to resolve this issue: **Step 1:** **Run Tag Verification** - Go to the Review tab in Trados Studio and select 'Tag Verification'. This will help identify any missing or extra tags in your segments. **Step 2:** **Check Segment Tags** - Since you mentioned that there are no tags visible in the segments when set to "Full Tag Text," ensure that the source segment contains the necessary tags. If the source segment has tags that are not present in the target segment, you will need to add them manually. **Step 3:** **Correct Tag IDs** - Use the Find and Replace function (Ctrl+F) to locate the tag ID mentioned in the error message. Ensure that the tag IDs in the target segment match those in the source segment. **Step 4:** **Adjust Project Settings** - If the issue persists, consider adjusting your project settings. Go to File > Options (or Project Settings) > File Types > SDLXLIFF > General, and untick the option to validate SDL XLIFF documents before reading. Then, re-open the SDLXLIFF file. **Step 5:** **Manual Editing** - If you are comfortable with XML, you can manually edit the SDLXLIFF file. Close Trados Studio, copy the target SDLXLIFF to a different location, and open it in a text editor. Search for the key sequence mentioned in the error message and remove the corresponding XML element. **Step 6:** **Reopen and Test** - After making the necessary corrections, reopen the SDLXLIFF file in Trados Studio and check if the error still appears. If you continue to experience issues, it may be beneficial to request a new source file from the agency, especially if the original file was created with an older version of Studio.

I’m translating short-form video captions for multiple languages, and after exporting the translated SRT back from Trados, some of the line breaks and caption segmentation look different once reimported into capcut. The translations themselves are fine, but the visual pacing in the editor changes a bit compared to the original timeline. I’m trying to figure out whether this is more of an SRT formatting limitation or something specific to CapCut’s subtitle parser.https://community.rws.com/product-groups/trados-portfolio/trados-studio/f/studio/61046/unable-to-reset-window-layout/193503Fri, 08 May 2026 09:24:00 GMT10acfa76-f078-475b-a7ef-fc5b3e8d2934:b753845d-076b-4975-8538-e64a4fedd068RWS Community AIProbability score: 0.7 Question improvement suggestion: Provide more details about the specific behavior of the "Advanced display filter" and any error messages encountered.

Trados 2019 is an older version of the software which is no longer supported technically since December 2022. It can still work as long as you don't need to use it with versions of third party software that were updated after that date, because we cannot guarantee Trados will work properly since we stopped testing it and developing updated for Trados 2019.

Ma version de trados est Trados Studio 2024 SR1 - 18.1.3.6657 et celle de multiterm est Multiterm 2024SR1-18.1.2.3594. il n'y a pas de nouvelles mises a jour disponibles. et j'ai quelquefois le message suivant au redémarrage de Trados j'ai installé les plug in suivants : De plus quand je vais dans ma base par Multiterm et que je veux supprimer une fiche, cela n'est pas possible car j'ai un message comme quoi il y a un probleme avec le cache alors je me retrouve avec des fiches dont je voudrais supprimer cordialementhttps://community.rws.com/product-groups/trados-portfolio/trados-studio/f/studio/61025/xml-settings-is-it-possible-to-make-segment-information-copyableWed, 06 May 2026 07:02:00 GMT10acfa76-f078-475b-a7ef-fc5b3e8d2934:025f4847-4796-4567-8bae-fe063880a99bAndreas GalambosGreetings everyone, We are regularly working with Schema ST4 XMLs. Also regularly, there is a need for queries for certain segments. Unfortunately, the segment content itself is often not enough for the customer to identify the affected content block in ST4. I would therefore like to add the "tmnsnode id" as additional information in Studio (Attribute "id" of XML element "tmsnode"). I succesfully adjusted the file type settings to make this work - but that information can only be displayed, not copied. Example: Is there any way to make this information not just pop up on click on also copyable to clipboard? After all, this ID does not help the translator at all, but should be easily included in any query to the customer. My only remaining idea would be to write a Studio plugin for a custom popup information box with copyable list items. :-?

I have already offered above what to do when one runs into an error because of OneDrive synchronization. I'll post again, in case you missed this information: Use of the synchronization with OneDrive or Google drive may cause issues with Trados. We advise that synchronization with OneDrive to be paused while Trados Studio is in use, or all Studio-related information should be saved in a location not synchronized with OneDrive. Or OneDrive can be disabled altogether. For further information, please see: Turn off, disable, or uninstall OneDrive . And here is an article about the error: https://gateway.rws.com/csm?sys_kb_id=0ee578873b77769093afd79704e45ab6&id=kb_article_view&sysparm_rank=2&sysparm_tsqueryId=4b9c42fd83ac8fd015c56180deaad3f4 The documents (files, projects, TMs) are not saved in Trados, Trados does not save any document in the software. The documents are saved where you selected them to be saved. Normally Trados saves them locally, as default path, on Drive C in Windows, in Documents. But, as mentioned above, OneDrive can cause issues while using Trados because OneDrive needs to connect to the internet constantly to update the files. Trados also has its own AutoUpdate and these two may not always be in synch. Therefore, it is advisable to either pause OneDrive when working in Trados or to move the files in a local folder that is not backed on OneDrive.

In the meantime, based on the information you have provided, here is a suggested answer to your question: Hello, It sounds like you're facing challenges with Trados Studio 2021 after uninstalling the previous version. Here are some steps you can take to troubleshoot the "Object reference not set to an instance of an object" error and ensure your termbase is functioning correctly: **Step 1:** Verify Installation Since you mentioned uninstalling Studio 16, ensure that Trados Studio 2021 is properly installed. If you haven't already, consider reinstalling it to ensure all components are correctly set up. **Step 2:** Check for Updates Make sure that your Trados Studio 2021 is updated to the latest version. You can do this by going to Help > Check for Updates within the application. **Step 3:** Reset Trados Studio Settings To reset your Trados Studio settings, navigate to the following directory: `C:\Users\[Your_Username]\AppData\Roaming\SDL\SDL Trados Studio\16.0.0.0` Rename the folder to `16.0.0.0_old` and restart Trados Studio. This will reset your settings to default. **Step 4:** Verify Termbase Configuration Check if your termbase is correctly configured in Trados Studio. Go to Project Settings > Language Pairs > All Language Pairs > Termbases and ensure your termbase is listed and properly set up. **Step 5:** Test Termbase Accessibility If you have access to MultiTerm, try opening your termbase there to ensure it is not corrupted. If it opens without issues, it should work in Trados Studio as well. **Step 6:** Recreate the Termbase If the termbase is not functioning, consider recreating it in MultiTerm and then re-adding it to your Trados Studio project. **Step 7:** Check for Conflicting Software Sometimes, antivirus or other security software can interfere with Trados Studio's functionality. Temporarily disable any such software to see if it resolves the issue. If you continue to experience problems, please provide more details about any specific error messages you encounter or any additional context that might help in diagnosing the issue.
