Hello,

Based on your description, it seems like you're experiencing an issue with your Translation Memory (TM) in Trados Studio. Here are some steps you can follow to troubleshoot this issue:

Step 1: Confirm the Language Pair

Ensure that the language pair of your TM matches the language pair of your project. This is crucial as Trados Studio will not be able to use a TM if the language pair does not match.

Step 2: Check the TM Settings

Go to Project Settings -> Language Pairs -> [Specific Language Pair] -> Translation Memory and Automatic Translation. Make sure the correct TM is selected for your language pair.

Step 3: Use All Language Pairs

If the issue persists, you can try moving your TMs to All Language Pairs. To do this, go to Project Settings -> Language Pairs -> All Language Pairs -> Translation Memory and Automatic Translation. Add your TMs here and click OK to save.

Step 4: Update Project Templates

If you have any project templates that contain the old TM settings, make sure to update them as well.

Please try these steps and see if they resolve your issue. If the problem persists, it might be a more complex issue that requires further investigation.

Best regards,

Yes but what is odd is in the first image there is no mention of the file.
So I suspect there is conflict between TM languages and the project languages.

Can you send us an image of your SDLXLIFF / Languages?
