This is driving me nuts!

Background: I am a WF Classic user since 2004, but am currently working on a project that involves multiple text boxes, and WFC does not deal with these efficiently.

This is driving me nuts!

Background: I am a WF Classic user since 2004, but am currently working on a project that involves multiple text boxes, and WFC does not deal with these efficiently.

Anyway, I decided to give WFA a chance, and having uploaded my glossary and TM have been using it for the past few days.

- Many of the files I'm translating are built identically and have sections that are exactly repeated.
- Most of the time it finds these and they show up green. All fine.
- Infuriatingly, some phrases that I've already translated in previous documents are simply not found, and instead it suggests an incorrect machine translation (with the usual 75%) that I then have to correct. Again. And again. And again....
- I can find now way to "reorganise" or edit the TM like you can with WFC in case something has gone wrong.

I thought maybe it was due to it taking a while to update on the server, but other, more recently added TUs are being found and used correctly.

What's going on here??

Thanks in advance...
Pete.

To the attention of the moderator: can we make this a "sticky"? This matter comes up so often the above should be a sticky, like those found on the SDL forum. Thanks in advance!
