Update from bilingual review not working anymore

Hi everyone,

I am working with SDL Trados Studio 2017 Freelance (SR1 14.1.10015.44945) and update from bilingual review does not work anymore (still worked fine last month).

I have tried to recreate the review file by exporting again and copy-pasting the right column, but to no avail.

For some files, I get an error message : "Problem reading contents of segment #999". Each time, segment looks perfectly normal.

For some other files, I don't get any error message but when I check whether changes were actually made, they aren't. This happens, including for files that imported correctly last month.

Any idea?

Thanks!

  • Hi Paul,

    I had already turned on hidden chars, but the reviewed files only contain the hard return that appears normally at the end of a bilingual export.

    The "quick" solution, i.e. recreating an export then copy-pasting the target, does not work either.

    So I am left with the Glossary Converter/Pre-translate option, but for some reason, only 29% of my biggest file is lifted from the created TM. So I have to go through most of the files manually.

    For an operation that simply boils down to copy-pasting the target, this feels like having to use a bazooka just to kill a fly.

     

    Just another question: I am working on IDML files where the author sometimes added unnecessary line breaks, which I removed when translating (see screenshot below). Could this be seen as "altering the structure of the file" too and prevent import as well? Or is it just a matter of not altering the structure of the bilingual export itself?

    Screenshot of Trados Studio showing a bilingual export with visible hard returns at the end of segments. No other hidden characters or errors are displayed.

    Thanks for clarifying.

    Joëlle
