Greetings, fellow ProZians.
I'm using the Word Spelling Checker 2.0 plug-in of SDL Trados 2007 (build 835) in Tageditor, with Word 2007 installed (on Vista), and I have the following problem.
The spelling checker plug-in sees only part of some words and (therefore) reports them as spelling errors.

By the way, Tageditor is configured to spell-check segments automatically when closing them.
I had a look in the archive, but didn't find anything.
Any idea?

You have a tag after "faço"?
If yes, it's not a bug, it's a feature

I don't have a tag inside the word, if that is what you mean.
I have "façon", one blank space, and then a tag.
Does it still count as a feature?

Yes, exactly.

Ehm... in the corporate meaning...
I think it may be a bug when a tag is found after the word.
I.e. the standard selection (kinda Ctrl+right arrow) include a space after the word, probably when a tag is found, the space is stripped incorrectly when the word is passed to the spellchecker.
The other words are followed by a tag?

I have tried to reproduce the problem by using the same sequence, i.e. "façon" + blank space + tag, but the problem didn't appear.
I am not sure about the other times the problem appeared. So far I treated it as a nuisance rather than as an object of study...
Thanks Grzegorz by the way.

TOPIC STARTER | Another example | Nov 11, 2008 |
It happened again.
The target segment ends with "etc.", and the plug-in sees it as "etc" and recommends "etc." -- no tag at all in the segment.

TOPIC STARTER | Summary of my findings so far regarding this bug | Nov 11, 2008 |
I recorded all occurrences of this bug in a project I just completed. There were 5 occurrences. One was the "etc." occurrence just mentionned; the other 4 were exactly like the one documented originally (with "façon"), namely a word followed by a blank space followed by a tag.
So, maybe it's two different bugs, or maybe it's one bug and the pattern is not yet very clear to us. In any case SDL Trados support now has some data to work with.

IMHO, two bugs with a similar pattern.
The first one is an incorrect tag stripping, the second is a separator (ponctuation mark) stripping.
The second may be related to the spellchecker (sometimes I see this kind of comportment in other tools using an external spellchecker), the first one is a 100% Trados bug.
Trados support now has some data to work with.
I'm rather pessimist.
Some flagrant Multiterm bugs I'm aware have a long history of upgrades :|
And of course, if other people can add to this report with their own findings, they are welcome.
Bien noté

| The same problem... but don't care | Nov 12, 2008 |
Hi Jacques,
I have the same problem, but it only occurs kind in one out of twenty files. As the occurence is not high, I just ignore it. Yet, another Trados bug...

Hi Stanislav,
Thanks for your input.
In the project I am doing now, I often have the problem mentionned with "etc." above, on words with an elision (and therefore an apostrophe), like:
jusqu'
qu'
In such cases the plug-in will report "jusqu" as a spelling mistake and offer "jusqu'" (with final apostrophe), which is what is already written.
The frequency may be low for some languages, but it is high for French.

The frequency may be low for some languages, but it is high for French.
PS: A simple work-around may be to add "qu" and "jusqu" to the dictionary. I will try.

Hi Jacques,
now I can see exactly what you mean (I'm glad to have paid good attention in the French classes at school ).
Anyway, I don't think adding these words into TE dictionary will help in the long term: in my experience, it will only help for your current document or, more precisely, for your current TagEditor session.
When I add new words, these remain stored in the spelling checker dictionary only until I... See more Hi Jacques,

Hi,
I have this problem too, annoyingly often I might add.
Occasionally i get the same kind of behaviour in concordance search...
