I updated my Studio yesterday. Since then, I've been trying to work out why TM search stopped working...

I mean, the TMs are there all right. All the content can be found by Concordance, and with my urgent jobs, I just had to copy-paste all the text from the Concordance result window. But the Translation Results window keeps showing "no matches found".

I checked the matching percentage settings, they are fine (I set the minimum match value at 50%!). I recreated my TMs

I checked the matching percentage settings, they are fine (I set the minimum match value at 50%!). I recreated my TMs - exported them, then reimported to an empty TM. Nothing. What else can I do? What's wrong?

Please help.
Thanks...

Is automatic lookup enabled? Is the language correct? Jan 23, 2014

There are two possibles causes I can think of:

1) Check that automatic TM lookup on segment enter is enabled.
2) Check that the TM language (and language variant!) are the same as in the translation file.

Yes to both your questions.

But now I've found out that the problem is not always there, it only appears with some files. Unfortunately, I can't find any particular difference between the files that will work fine and the files that won't. The same file format (ordinary doc files), language settings... Except that the problem files have 100% matches in TM. It's as if Studio couldn't somehow "discover" these 100% matches.

I have the same problem Jan 24, 2014

Hi all,

I have EXACTLY the same problem. I updated to sdl trados 2014 2 days ago, and after testing a lot of options (delete everything, create the project from 0, create new TM, import to it the files already translated...) nothing...

I have one question, when there is a fuzzy match, for example, 99% / 74% (nevermind which one), the square has not background colour. I think it should be yellow, but is white (non coloured)

May be there is an option to activate it... and i haven't seen... but I've lost already 2 days, and I cannot loose more time...

Please HELP!

Thank you all

Minimum match value was too high! Jan 24, 2014

After 2 days looking for solutions, 5 minutes after write here, I've found a solution...unbelievable
To me, it was just because of the settings...:

Project settings / Languages / Translation memory / Search / Translation:
I had a minimum match value of 70%. I've changed to a lower value (30% just to test.. and IT WORKS!!!!)

I hope this is usefull to others.

Regards

Try a lower match value Jan 24, 2014

(I set the minimum match value at 50%!)


Try a lower match value just to test (30% is the lowest). To me 50% were too high sometimes and I thought it didn't work!

That's exactly what happened to me yesterday, though for no apparent reason (adjusting the match values did not change anything).
The original "problem files" suddenly started to work fine after rebooting my PC and creating yet another project. No idea why.
And everything seemed to go well, and I was just starting to enjoy it when this morning - the same thing happened again with three other files. Haven't tried them yet after a reboot, was too angry to even try.

I really hate it when your software does something for no reason, then stops doing that, then starts doing that again, and you have no idea what to expect tomorrow.

TM results display only after Ctrl+Shift+Alt+Enter key combination May 12, 2014

In Studio 2014 the TM won't work. I get the following message in every segment : 'No translation results to display.'
However if I change segment status to translated pressing the above shortkey (Ctrl+Shift+Alt+Enter, it means that I stay in the same segment) the tm results show up.

I tried studio 2011 with the same files and there isn't any problem there.

Any idea?

New SP1 shortcut to confirm segment and send it to TM May 12, 2014

The shortcut you mention confirms a segment (i.e., sends it to the TM) and stays in the same segment. It's quite normal for the TM results to show up afterwards, because you've just saved that segment in the TM.

It sounds as if the TM that is giving you results in Studio 2011 isn't the same one that's assigned to your project in Studio 2014. Might that be the case?

Yes, but the actual TM contains also fuzzy matches that only show up after confirming the segment the mentioned way.

No, I tried it with the same file, same TM.
Actually I've been facing this problem only for a while. At first Studio 2014 worked fine.

Actually I've had the same problem since I started using 2014 May 13, 2014

I have been using Studio 2104 since the end of last year and I have been seeing this come up a lot. But there does not seem to be any consistency. For some segments I get the normal hits and fuzzy matches with the underlined or crossed out words. Then on the next segment I get nothing but the concordance search shows a sentence that is exactly the same but with a semicolon instead of a period or no punctuation at the end. This should come up as a 99% match but it doesn't. Any ideas why? It is re... See more

Did you check your TM Penalty Settings?

Meybe a solution Jun 18, 2014

Hi all,

I have the same problems with all my TMs since the upgrade to 2014 (we have 41 TMs in 40 different languages). I tried everything suggested here but it didn't work.

I think I found the solution which is working fine for me ( at least with one TM, I have to test it with the others also).

Upgrade the Transaltin Memories and after that it will find your matches in TM.

in Translation Memories view -> Tools -> Upgrade Tranlation Memories.

Please remember to backup your TM first, in my case the new upgraded TM didn't have the segmentation rules from the previous one,so I had to copy them from the old one.

Hope this will help,

I might have a solution for that Dec 18, 2015

Dear All,
I had the exact same problem, but I think I've solved it. In some files matches came up and sometimes, although I was definitely certain that I had translated the same sentence before, it said 'no matches found'. Then I realised that, under Project Settings -> Language Pairs -> All Language Pairs ->Translation Memory and Automated Translations, my translation memories in the window to the right did not have the "update" box (far right) checked.

When I checked the update box, matches started to pour in. Thinking that I had to do 350.000 characters of work with %20 match without seeing any of the matches, therefore doing everything over any over again, I'm rather irritated. Well, anyway.
Peace,
