Hi, I don't know if I'm being fundamentally stupid. When I set up a project, I use the SDL global TM and my own. I used to use a plugin too, but that no longer works with the latest update.
I just finished working on one document for a client, and had created a new TM for it. I have now created a new project for the same client, new document, same TM. The project seems to be correctly set up. But in editor, the TM returns no translation values - I get AT translated values ok. Even i... See more Hi, I don't know if I'm being fundamentally stupid.

The project seems to be correctly set up. But in editor, the TM returns no translation values - I get AT translated values ok. Even if I turn the SDL lookup off, I get no match found - yet for the first segment I should get a 100% match, and can confirm that the TM definitely includes that sentence.
I'm so confused, I've checked all the settings I can think of. Please can you suggest where I'm going wrong?
thanks!
PS source doc. is a pdf, and the project prep failed on the second document with an error contacting the server during automated translation; but this one looks like it finished correctly ▲ Collapse

Hi Sian,
How do you know the TM that definitely contains the source is linked to your Project? It sounds to me as though you might be looking at the source by viewing the TM you know it's in through the maintenance view , but then actually looking up a different TM somewhere else.
Perhaps you can double check this by clicking on Project Settings when the file is open in the editor and then making absolutely sure you have the same TM attached... so remove the one that's... See more Hi Sian,

Apologies if this is too basic for your problem but if it's in there then I can think of no reason for it not appearing in the TM results window as you work.
Regards

TOPIC STARTER In memoriam | I think so... as far as I can tell | Jun 17, 2013 |
Hi Paul. No worries starting basic, support has to be step by step, you don't have the info.
For the first project I created a whole new TM, let's call it "Project A TM". It is a very explicit name. It is a new variant of the source language, which is why I didn't use my base TM with a project TM.
To return to Project A. When I review the contents of that TM in TM view, it has been successfully updated with the segments translated in Project A. I can search on a given... See more Hi Paul. No worries starting basic, support has to be step by step, you don't have the info.
For the first project I created a whole new TM, let's call it "Project A TM". It is a very explicit name. It is a new variant of the source language, which is why I didn't use my base TM with a project TM.
To return to Project A. When I review the contents of that TM in TM view, it has been successfully updated with the segments translated in Project A. I can search on a given word, and find the expected saved segment.
I then created a new project, Project B. Checking the Project Settings: it has the same variant source language as Project A. It has SDL ATS and Project A TMs set (in All Language Pairs; I have also confirmed that specific source language takes it settings form there).
Just to simplify matters, I have removed SDL ATS. So Project B is now set to use Project A TM, Enabled, Lookup, Concordance and Update.
However, that TM was not added in Tools/Options. I've just added it, and had to select the new language pair variant. Still, going back to the project, no progress. Do I need to delete the project and recreate it? I there something about adding TMs I am missing? When does a project look here, when does it look in its own settings?
Although I will mention that I had exactly the same problem just last week, with a project TM (so, it showed as a subset of the my TM). Again, I was getting no lookups. Since it was the first time I'd worked with a project TM, I thought I was just not understanding the concept., which sounds very likely.
Thanks, Paul

TOPIC STARTER In memoriam | Ah... not 100%! | Jun 18, 2013 |
So... it was late.
I changed my match values, and actually it is only an 83% match.
Sorryyyyyyyyyyyyyyy.
Still would like to understand about why my project TM failed to play but I shall wait until I'm working with one again to get into the exact circs.

... it's always interesting to see the difficulties in providing support remotely in a forum. Glad that one turned out to be simple!
Let me know if you find out where the Project TM issue is coming from.

Paul
