SDL TMS 11.0.2 | The order/anchoring of tags was lost when updating a TM with translations from SDLXLIFF where tags were shuffled around at translation

 

Symptoms: 
While editing a segment, the user moves tags in the target text to suit the language needs. The translation then updates the translation memory. On the next job, if the same source segment is sent for translation, although the TM returns a 100%, the order of the tags is lost. 

 

Explanation: 
When updating the TM, the tags are stored in the TM in a different format than they are represented in an SDLXLIFF file. When converting from one format to the other the tag order\anchoring from the source format was not preserved.

 

Resolution: 
With this fix, the order of the tags is now respected in the next job, for the same source segment.

SDL-hosted customers should contact SDL Support to arrange for this hotfix to be deployed.

Customers who host SDL TMS themselves should download the installer for SDLTMS11.0.2 Hotfix for TMS-9984.exe from the following FTP site: ftp://sdlpatches:5dlpatch35@ftp-emea.sdlproducts.com/SDL TMS/11.0/CU2/Hotfix.

 

Note: 
This issue was detected before SDL TMS 11.0.2.
