I've just received the final proofread version of a translation I had submitted to a client, so I went ahead and aligned the new version with the source text, and imported the alignment project into the TM.
However whenever I open a segment that had been corrected, I still get the old translation rather than the new one.

I tried importing it several times, with different options clicked: "Merge", "Keep most recent" and "overwrite", but I still keep getting the old translation. What could I be doing wrong?
(Please let me know if anything is unclear - I find it a bit hard to use proper Trados terminology sometimes). ▲ Collapse

By the way, I can see that a similar problem was posted before http://www.proz.com/post/683689
But I'm not sure the suggestion in the final post is relevant. I'll try it anyway but if someone has a different suggestion, I'll be happy to hear it. Thanks.

Hi. Have you tried reorganising the TM AFTER you have imported it?

That hasn't worked either.
The file isn't so big, so I'm just retranslating it with Trados at the moment to make sure all the new stuff is in, which is a bit time-consuming, but better than nothing.
Thanks anyway!

I asked the same question last week. The solution is to change the configuration of Workbench to reduce the "alignment penalty" to zero.

Thanks Steven! I'm sorry I didn't see your thread before.
I'll have to try this method out on another document, as I've already "retranslated" the file using the proofread file, which took me a while!
It's good to know that there's something I can do when that happens again.
