Find & replace and spell checker not working in TQA mode – Studio 2017

Hi everyone,

I was reviewing a document in the translation quality assessment mode and I noticed that the find and replace function and the spell checker are not working properly. When using find and replace, the option ‘replace all’ is not working. As far as the spell checker is concerned, I’ve noticed that it doesn’t go through the whole document. It only finds the errors that are in the first few segments of the translation. In addition, if I want to correct a spelling error, I am prompted to fill out the TQA window. After that, the spell checker does not move on to the next error in the target text. Has anyone else come across the same issues? Is there any solution available for using these two functions in the TQA mode? Thank you!

  • Hi Steven, 

    Thank you again for your answer. I've created a new project and tested the find and replace function and the spell checker using a different TQA profile and I still get the same results. 

    I've noticed a difference between your screenshots and mine though. In your first screenshot the 'Assess Quality' icon is not greyed out as opposed to mine. That means that the TQA mode is not activated, am I right? I clicked on the 'Assess Quality' button so that it looks like yours (not grey) and I can indeed use these functions. However, the only difference is that they are not marked as track changes in the target segment. 

    So for example, if I want to replace a word:

    Trados Studio screenshot showing the 'Find and Replace' dialog box with a word highlighted in the source segment, and the 'Assess Quality' icon greyed out indicating TQA mode is not activated.

    After clicking replace this is what happens:

    Trados Studio screenshot after using 'Find and Replace' function, showing the word replaced in the target segment without the old word being crossed out in red, indicating no track changes.

    The word was replaced but the old word is not crossed out in red.
