Greetings, guys
Recently I'm having some problens in trados 2021, it's changing segments already saved when I copy and paste a segment through ctrl F window, repeated words are added randomly in some segments and TAgs have been messed up.
Does anyone encountered this kind of issues? Would it be possible that a translation agency intentionally corrupt sdliff files to sabotage my translation in order to make me rework for free?
It's very distressfull and I lost many hours ... See more Greetings, guys

It's very distressfull and I lost many hours of work due to client find many mistakes in project which I didn't found on XBench, like, very obviously and quantitative mistakes (many segments)
Any help would be highly appreciated.
Thanks! ▲ Collapse

This is very strange behaviour, and I strongly doubt it is the agency that is doing something here. Especially if you have had a long-term relationship with them, and even if you don't, it doesn't sound like that's the problem. (I cannot see how they would be able to get your copy to misbehave like that anyway.) To me, it sounds like the installation of Trados Studio has gone corrupt. So here are a few things I would try:

- Uninstall Trados Studio and run a cleanup of Windows. (I am using the free app Ccleaner for this, which I find to be an excellent tool.)
- Download the latest version of Studio that you have a license for, from your Studio profile, and install it.
After that check if Studio still misbehaves.
You may also want to run a full scan with your antivirus program just in case. It could be you have got some malware on your computer.
- I would also run a repair on the translation memory, but I don't know if you can do that in Studio. This is one of the benefits of Deja Vu, which is my favorite CAT tool.
At least I hope the above will be of help for you.

May I ask you why are you working this way? It looks rather strange.

I confirm everything written here in this thread by Rachael Koev: https://community.rws.com/product-groups/trados-portfolio/trados-studio/f/studio/41821/uplift-fuzzy-match-repair-settings
To disable the upLIFT feature in your current project, go to Project Settings - Language Pairs - All Language Pairs - Match Repair - select Off for both options.
To disable the upLIFT feature for all your future projects, go to File - Options - Language Pairs - All Language Pairs - Match Repair - select Off for both options.

Hello, guys
thanks for your suggestions. As I'm new in the forum and don't know how to mention each reply I'll post it below
@Roy Oestensen
It might be a virus affecting trados behaviour. I'm running CCcleaner, and will reinstall trados now. If there's any finding I'll post here for other users which might found a similar problem. I couldn't found any similar anedote on internet about this issue, so virus might be an answer.

I'm aware that python can create a code for randomly duplicate words in sdlxliff files, which can be inserted in the file structure but I didn't found any abnormal code in the file when opened it in the text editor.
@Natalie
I use ctrl F to universally change jargons in the file, I find it to be faster than use the mouse to access the trados search box. Do you think it's a bad approach?
@Stepan Konev
Thanks. I've disabled all the upLIFT functions. Sounds this might be the issue, or a virus. I'll test today in a new project before reinstall trados and update here if this fix the problem. ▲ Collapse

Normally, when you complete the translation of some segment you should press Ctrl+Enter to confirm it and to move to the next untranslated/unconfirmed segment. At this moment Trados performs search of translation matches, concordance and segments (depending on your settings). You do not need to perform such searches yourself, this is done automatically (unless you need finding smth specific, of course).
