All of a sudden I have got a new problem with Trados Studio 2014:

I have a large legal job in MS Word which I want to translate in Studio 2014. But when I start the translation, I discover that each time I click in the target column (to change the translation), my translation of the current segment is replaced by the source text.

Has anybody encountered this problem? What is the reason for this, and what can I do to remedy this?

"Copy source when no match is found" activated? Nov 10, 2014

I don't know how it can happen all of a sudden. But perhaps you want to check in the Translation Memory toolbar -> Editor -> Automation wether "Copy source when no match is found" is active.

Kind regards

The problem seems to have solved itself Nov 11, 2014

I still have no explanation for what happened, but after the computer had a night’s sleep the problem hade disappeared, which leads me to believe that the problem was caused by something in computer unrelated to Studio, and which had corrected itself overnight.
(And no – I had not activated the setting "Copy source when no match is found".)
