Hello,

I'm working on an Excel file with Studio 2009.

Strangely enough, I do not get any fuzzy matches from my TM.
The TM is quite recent, but still it should provide fuzzy matches from segments I have just translated.
No translation results are shown either from the proper box, or from Concordance.

Maybe I misconfigured some TM settings at the beginning?

I found another thread on a similar topic http://www.proz.com/forum/sdl_trados_support/163876-studio_sp2:_fuzzy_matches_make_no_sense.html but it does not solve my point.

I did not have the same problem with a Word file and another TM a few days ago.

Thanks in advance for any help!

Did you update your main TM? Nov 19, 2010

Sara

Do you use the Freelance or the Professional version?

If you use the professional version and use project TMs (set by default), you need to finalize the projects you have already translated in order to get the confirmed segments to be written to your main TM.

Did you do this? If not, the segments you translated will be in the project TM of the projects you translated. In that case, you need to go back to those projects and finalize them (Projects - Bat... See more

Freelance version Nov 19, 2010

Thanks Walter,

I have the freelance version.

I tried your suggestion but after finalizing the TM I get an error message in Italian going more or less along these lines: "Reference to an item not set on an item instance"...

Any clue?

Please try to restart Studio Nov 19, 2010

Should this not help, open the TM you need to contain the matches, right click on it in the Navigation pane (left part of Studio inteerface), chose Import and import the SDLXLIFF file with your translaiton.

Which version are you using? Nov 19, 2010

Sara

The error message you quoted is one of the most frequently seen error messages and does not give any indication on the real cause of the problem.

Can you pls check which version you have and upgrade to SP3 if you do not have this yet. Then also apply the Cumulative Update 8.

Thanks a lot Jerzy, your tip actually solved my problem - very simple, but still much needed!

Thanks to both of you
