Hi,
I'm using Trados 2007, service pack 2.
I'm translating an Excel file in TagEditor.
When I get a 100% match, e.g. "hello Dave", Trados doubles the number of spaces between the words, so successive 100% matches are
"hello..Dave"
"hello....Dave"
"hello........Dave"
and so on. (. = space, proz forums automatically take out the double spaces).
This has happened once before, but I wasn't able to solve it. I just had to edit the spaces out by hand.... See more Hi,

| Did you change anything in your font settings? | Jul 10, 2008 |
In my case the trouble was caused by corrupted font system in my PC.
The solution was very radical and not convenient at all: reinstalling the whole PC.
But sice I do not have any problems.
Does this problem occur with only this file with a particular TM or is it a global one?
In the second case I'm afraid a system reinstallation might be unavoidable.
In the first case you could export the TM and recreate it, this could help.

Hi Jerzy
Thanks for answering. I tried exporting/recreating as you suggested but it didn't solve the problem. In one file in this job TagEditor actually freezes (probably generating millions of spaces or something).
I didn't change my fonts or anything, and this is only affecting one memory.

| No clue then | Jul 10, 2008 |
Sorry, but then my knowledge is limited...
Somehow this TM has font settings, where a single byte font is substituted by a double byte one and than back again.
Maybe you try to recreate the ttx after you change the font in original to plain Arial?
And maybe you switch display formatting and font mapping in filter settings off before your regenerate the ttx...
Best
Jerzy

| Yes, we had this! | Jul 10, 2008 |
Yes, indeed this happened to us several days ago, but it apparently disappeared rebooting the machine. I still haven't had enough time to research why this happened, but it only happened in one machine (with Windows XP and Trados 2006).

Hi
I changed the font to Arial in the Excel files and recreated the ttx's.
This has solved the double spacing problem. The previous font was MS Sans Serif.
After the translation I'll reset the font to MS Sans Serif.
Thanks Jerzy, I couldn't have done it without you!

If it affects only one TM, then TM may have problem. Export tm as tmx, and then open it in a text editor and delete the font table between and (this is font table), then create an empty new tm and import this tmx.
I hope it works.
