Segment confirmed, added to TM, then edited, and reconfirmed but DOUBLES are made instead of being overwritten

Keenan Cooper

Hello,

One of my team members has been experiencing this problem which I've never seen before and honestly thought was impossible. I can't replicate this phenomenon on my own computer so I don't know which settings were changed on her computer to result in this. 

Trados Studio interface showing a segment with the text '(In parenthesis, the LCD display is explained.) the the' confirmed and entered into the TM.

To test the problem she told me about, I typed "(In parenthesis, the LCD display is explained.) the the" and confirmed the segment and it entered the TM. Then I immediately deleted "the the" and confirmed the segment but instead of overwriting the segment and showing a CM/100 match, it shows both most recently confirmed hits with a -1 duplicate penalty. I thought such penalties would only apply to duplicates from different TMs. But this is the same TM and same project so I'm very lost as I thought this went against the very core of Trados's code. Please assist.

    Hi Keenan,

    I just wanted to chime in and say this also happens when you manually add multiple translations to a TM, but that's, of course, intentional.

    However, if I'm understanding correctly, your colleague is not using the Add new translation option, but rather is confirming her segments as usual.

    I was trying to see if I could repro this, as I hadn't necessarily noticed it happening, and I can report that I've been able to reproduce it.

    Here's a video showing the issue as I'm seeing it. It doesn't happen all the time, and it doesn't necessarily happen on the same segments, that is, if you go back to the same segment and change its translation multiple times, sometimes the TU will be overwritten and sometimes it won't. LookAhead is disabled, but that doesn't seem to make a difference. I also tried with my main TM and with a new, empty one, and the issue happened with both.

     are you able to reproduce this as well?
