Problems in old project after upgrading from V9 to V10

Post by okonvick »

We have a project that we started translating in Lingo V9. Over the course of time, we decided to start using V10. Sadly, this also brought about some problems that we're unsure how to solve now. We are currently in the evaluation phase of V10, so I would like to find out if these are possible to solve, and then decide whether to upgrade or not.

1. No suggestions from TM
It sometimes happens, that a segment match translation from the TM is not offered. This can be seen on a screenshot here: https://ibb.co/e4F3aT. I have found the very same sentence by manually browsing the TM.

2. Missing <code> tags
We're using inline <code> tags as you would expect. However, it sometimes happens that although a part of a sentence within the topic contains code, it is not copied into the original segment, although it is clearly shown in the preview (even though it obviously is in the file). This can be seen on this screenshot: https://ibb.co/nibUh8

3. "Numbered objects"
This is a strange one. We have valid HTML topic, created in Flare, of course, which contains no non-standard characters or anything weird, just your usual topic with a table and some paragraphs. Within Lingo, the English (original) column is showing some span tags (which it should), and also a bunch of blue objects with numbers in them. I inspected the file in Notepad++ and they are really just empty spaces. What could be causing this?

I know it's a lot of questions, but this is driving me crazy. I have spent hours inspecting the files, running them through validators and have been unable to find the causes for any of the above. So I'd like to ask if anyone encountered these problems and if/how you managed to resolve them.

Many thanks.

On point 1 we haven't upgraded but I've been having the same issue. Turning the fuzzy match % right down seems to fix it for some reason even if the matches were already above the threshold. Might be worth a try?
