Hi,
I have .itd files on which TM were applied.
My problem:
- a segment is repeated several times in the .itd file
- when the TM was applied, this segment was a 100% match, so all occurences of it are now gold color (translated but not confirmed)
- the context is not the same as the TM so I want to change the translation
- I edit the 1st occurence, confirm the translation, so I expect every following occurence to become orange color and use the transla... See more Hi,

- the context is not the same as the TM so I want to change the translation
- I edit the 1st occurence, confirm the translation, so I expect every following occurence to become orange color and use the translation I just entered (I selected auto-propagate in SDLX options)
- but no, they stay gold color with the translation from the TM
Is there anything I can do if I don't want to enter the same translation again and again.
Ie, I want auto-propagate to take precedence over a 100% match from an applied TM.
Thanks ▲ Collapse

Hi,
I think the only way to do this is to first unconfirm all of your 100% segments. To do this, choose Edit>Confirm/Unconfirm>UNconfirm all. Thus your 100% segments will appear as new ones again (only the color changes to grey, not the content). Once this is done, autopropagate can apply to these segments.
Hope it helps,
Annelise

I don't think this suggestion will work. Unconfirm all will not unconfirm 100% matches but only confirmed (blue) segments.
I think the only way to do what you want to do is to apply an empty TM to the pre-translated file so that it will not contain any matches. This of course means that you will have to enter all 100% and fuzzy matches manually during translation (which is rather cumbersome if there are a lot of them).
Kind regards,
Claudia

| Unconfirming 100 % matches | Jan 20, 2009 |
Claudia is right that "Unconfirm all" won't have any effect on 100 % matches.
One possible workaround for unconfirming these is to search for a space and replace it with a apace. This will leave any segment in which a space appears unconfirmed without losing the existing translation.
(If you have a lot of short segments without spaces, you can of course also search for any other frequent character, but don't forget to tick the "Match case" option.)

This seems to be the best solution, I'll try it on my next .itd.
Applying an empty TM is problematic, because for this to work I'd have to delete existing translations, and when doing that it also deletes translations of locked segments (which is pretty stupid).
Thank you all, I'll report back later on Monika solution.

I tried Monika' solution (replace by the same character) and it's doing the job.
Thank you all.
