Hi,
I am wondering if there is a way to filter so I can see only segments that do not match what is in the translation memory, please?

Thanks in advance!

Assuming that you have run the 'Prepare without project TM' batch task, the segments that do not match anything in your translation memory are blank segments. If so, you can use a regex for that. Open the Advanced display filter, select the 'Content' tab, type ^$ in the target field, check the 'Regular Expression' box, press Enter.

Non-matching segments Apr 8, 2022

In addition to what Stepan answered: Do you mean segments that no longer match because the TM has been changed in the meantime? In which case, Translate to Fuzzy should find such segments.

Thank you for your thoughts Apr 8, 2022

So I would reopen Trados, continue where I had left, proofreading, making a few changes here and there - and then I realised that it wasn't updating my TM anymore.

I ended up swapping to Studio 2019 - which I prefer over 2021 in general.

I managed in the end, but would have saved a lot of time if I had been able to filter by segments that don't match the TM, to make sure they were all ok.

Thanks for your suggestions anyway ▲ Collapse

Update TM Apr 8, 2022

Something similar also happened to me. You could have imported the XLIFF document into the TM (possibly setting appropriate filters).
