Translations not "Sticking" in the segment

Post by RobSwanson »

This is SO frustrating.
I translated with memory and machine. Half of the translations that had been in the segments disappear.

You can put the cursor in the segment and arrow down and the TM segments will fill. The DeepL translations for the other segments is down below and can be entered by double-clicking. A TON of manual work, and then they disappear again when Exported. Hours of work disappear.

And of course, everything was due today. Ain't happening.

And search and replace and all replace don't work half the time.

Would not have purchased this if I'd know how freaking bad Lingo is.

I've had the same issue.

As a new user, and just starting to investigate the issue, I have a suspicion that the MT segments have not been saved to the TM, I merely translated the project and exported it. Therefore, those translations weren't saved the next time I opened the project and now I have to re-apply any MT.

Doing that as we speak, after which I'll commit any MT to the TM. The next time I update the Lingo project I hope to see all translations present, and the only translations I will need to apply are to new topics or changed ones.
