Friends,

I have Trados Freelance 7.0, Window XP and MS Office 2003. I was translating a MS Word document and suddenly my computer got turned off automatically (this has happened for the first time with my this PC in 3 years). I had not saved the file but I was confident that since I am translating by means of Trados, the translation would have gone into my memory and I'll retrieve the same. But much to my surprise, when I opened the segments after the computer automatically got restarted, I found that it is not reproducing the translation.

Is not it unusual and strange? At last, I had no other option, but to re-translate each and every segment. Could you please tell me what exactly went wrong?

Regards,

Chopra

Save? Dec 31, 2011

You probably did not hit the Save button, while translating that portion. I am using Studio 2009, and the entries appear in the TM only when I save them in the bilingual file, as far as I know.

Two reasons are most likely Jan 2, 2012

Translated segments were saved in a different TM (for instance project TM rather than your main one) or in project settings you did not check the box "Update TM")

Best Regards

I agree Jan 2, 2012

I agree with you that this is strange. I had a similar case (sudden shut down) except that everything was there in TM!
