• SDL TMS 2011 SP5 CU1 | Missing format painting coming from Machine Translation…

     

    Symptoms:
    When the format painting is broken or missing, the ITD is prevented from being rebuilt. Consequently, the content from the matches from the Machine Translation engine are reverted in the SDL TMS database and therefore they are not included in the ITD file. 

    Explanation:
    After matches are returned from the Machine Translation engine, they are transferred into the ITD file. If the format painting is broken, this…

  • SDL TMS 2011 SP5 CU2 | Hotfix for defect TMS-6072 - Wrong target files generated…

     

    Symptoms:
    In some cases, the Rebuild Translation stage creates an incorrect target file by ignoring some of the custom settings from the HTML 5 embedded content processor.

    This behavior occurs for Studio Packages downloaded and then uploaded back into SDL TMS as return packages containing tasks created with custom Content Types based on a Custom XML (Embedded Content) that uses an HTML 5 embedded content processor.

  • SDL TMS 2011 SP5 CU2 | Edit Content Types page - included/excluded extension…

     

    Symptoms:
    On the Edit Content Type page, both fields named Included Extensions and Excluded Extensions would not allow more than 50 characters, forcing users to create multiple Content Types when actually one would be sufficient to capture all needed extensions in those fields.

    Explanation:
    The Content Type Edit page has a validation that restricts the content of that field to 50 characters.

    Resolution:
    The validation has…

    Symptoms:
    Sometimes, in an environment set up correctly, users can see the tasks assigned to them in the traditional TMS inbox, but when opening the GroupShare Inbox, no jobs or tasks are displayed, except for the message: 

    The server took too long to send the data.

    Explanation:
    If the initial data retrieval took more than 5 seconds, the GroupShare Inbox would time out and therefore no jobs and no tasks would get displayed…

  • SDL TMS 2011 SP5 CU2 | Tasks stuck at "Moving to next stage" status

     

    Symptoms:
    When submitting concurrently large amounts of tasks to the next stage, some tasks are stuck in the Moving to next stage status.

    Explanation:
    A Batch Submit can contain up to 1,000 tasks per request. If the user tries to submit more than 1,000 tasks at the same time, several Batch Submit requests are created. For example, when submitting 2,300 tasks, there will be 3 batches created: two of 1,000 tasks each and…

    Symptoms:
    When creating a job in SDL TMS using a Configuration supporting at least one non-wildcard Content Type and at least one wildcard Content Type that has no Excluded Extensions as well, tasks were created only for the files that matched the non-wildcard Content Types.

  • SDL TMS 2011 SP5 CU1 | Hotfix for defect #36482 - EMT Framework: Ignore…

     

    Symptoms:
    Segments that received Translation Memory matches with missing tags can cause tasks processed with SDL XLIFF-based filters to go to Recovery after the External Machine Translation (EMT) stage.

    Explanation:
    For some file type filters, certain tags are essential to rebuild the target file. When the required format painting/tags are missing in the target segment, the operation responsible for rebuilding the target file…

  • SDL TMS 2011 SP5 CU1 | Hotfix for defect #36302 - Pre-Processing can fail…

     

    Symptoms:
    Pre-Processing can result in failure when handling files from a UNC path.

    Explanation:
    In an SDL TMS multi-server environment, when using a UNC path for storing and managing files, Pre-Processing fails sometimes during the extraction of the translatable content. This is due to the impossibility to move the temporary extracted file to the final location (for example, to the TC\SRC folder) because Windows® caches…

  • SDL TMS 2011 SP5 CU1 | Hotfix for defect #36478 – SDLXLIFF file gets corrupted…

     

    Symptoms:
    You cannot open in SDL Trados Studio an SDLXLIFF downloaded from SDL TMS if custom comments were added to it during custom Pre-Processing.

    Explanation:
    The transition of the SDLXLIFF file through custom Pre-Processing corrupts the references for the segment's custom comments in the final SDLXLIFF file. In addition, the comments are not displayed on the TMS Translation Interface.

    Resolution:
