Cumulative Update 17 for SDL Trados Studio 2017 SR1 (Build 14.1.10017.54688, Released on 03 July 2019)

SDL Trados Studio 2017 SR1 Cumulative Update 17 (CU17) addresses the following issues:

  • Fixed issue with the tag view switch and other Editor refresh commands not working.

Known issue: Some older TMs (such as created with Studio 2014) may show an error when trying to export to TMX. The SDL development team is working on a fix for this issue, but until that is released, use the following workaround: in such cases, the TM has a warning sign next to its icon, which means it needs to be updated to the latest format. To update the TM, right-click it and select Upgrade Translation Memory from the context menu. Once the TM has been updated this way, exporting will work again in all scenarios.

Cumulative Update 16 for SDL Trados Studio 2017 SR1 (Build 14.1.10016.54660, Released on 30 May 2019)

Cumulative Update 15 for SDL Trados Studio 2017 SR1 (Build 14.1.10015.44945, Released on 18 December 2018)

SDL Trados Studio 2017 SR1 Cumulative Update 15 (CU15) adds the same TM enhancements that were introduced in Trados Studio 2019 SR1.

  • Redeveloped context matching for higher accuracy. We improved the way context matches are calculated to avoid incorrect context matches and unwanted duplicate matches in some cases.
  • Better fuzzy matching and an adjusted TM upgrade mechanism. We enhanced stemming for Western languages and made improvements in recognizing half/full-width characters for Japanese in particular. The current linguistic insight behind our TMs applies to segment matching and concordance matching, as well as upLIFT Match Repair and upLIFT fragment matching. You can reuse the TMs you created in previous SDL Trados Studio versions, but in order to benefit from these latest TM enhancements, we recommend that you upgrade all your older TMs using one of the available Translation Memory upgrade mechanisms. All you older/legacy TMs are clearly marked by a triangle warning sign. This functionality supports the interoperability between the TMs from different (and future) SDL Trados Studio versions.
  • TM reindexing and upgrade now prompted explicitly when changing basic settings. Changing any of the file-based TM settings (any recognition setting or variable) requires you to reindex your TM, namely to 'refresh' it so it is updated with your preferences. Reindexing was required until now too, but now users are reminded that they need to reindex the TM they changed. All TMs which require reindexing are marked with a triangle warning sign (the same sign you would see for a legacy TM which needs to be upgraded). To reindex your TM, upgrade your TM using one of the available Translation Memory Upgrade mechanisms.

NOTE: SDL recommends that, once the TMs are upgraded, all users in the supply chain use the same SDL Trados Studio version upgraded to the latest CU. This means that all users should upgrade to SDL Trados Studio 2017 CU15. This will ensure that all users benefit from the context match and fuzzy match enhancements, as well as an overall reliability when changing recognizer settings. If an SDL Trados Studio 2017 or 2019 user remains on an older version and receives newer TMs, leverage issues will occur.
SDL Trados Studio 2015 users can download the TM Compatibility Plug-In for SDL Trados 2015 and back-convert the TMs created in SDL Trados Studio 2017 SR1 CU15 into the TM format used by SDL Trados Studio 2015; otherwise leverage will be adversely affected.
SDL Trados Studio Application

  • Termbases from the SDL Language Cloud Terminology (Beta) provider are no longer available in Trados Studio 2017. This functionality is now available in SDL Trados Studio 2019 SR1 and later.
  • When opening an SDL WorldServer package, the TBX conversion to MultiTerm termbase is not wrongly merging entries anymore (CRQ-12107).
  • When opening certain SDL WorldServer project packages in SDL Trados Studio 2017 SR1, the error Could not load file or assembly 'log4net Version=1.2.10.0… occurred. This is now fixed.
  • Context Matches are not transformed to 100% matches when upgrading a Trados Studio 2017 TM to Trados Studio 2019 (CRQ-11293).
  • Fixed TextContextMatchType must be specified error when upgrading an .mdb TM (CRQ-10932).
  • Trados Studio does not hang anymore after selecting a Trados GroupShare 2017 translation memory with many language pairs in the Open Server-based Translation Memory window (CRQ-10538).
  • Changing the Trados Groupshare project settings does not reset the target language selected in files view for all the users anymore (CRQ-8983).
  • Fixed missing TM matches created with MT! user when the TM is not first in the list (CRQ-5825).

Note: Cumulative Update 15 was originally released with the build number 14.1.10015.44620 on 12 December 2018. That version of CU15 was replaced with the updated build number 44945 as described in this article. There are no differences between these two versions of CU15 except for a hotfix in the installation program that caused the error 'Service 'SDL Customer Feeback Service' (Sdl.ProductTelemetrics.v1) failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services.' This issue typically occurred on PCs that had both SDL Trados Studio 2015 and 2017 installed side-by-side and has now been fixed (CRQ-12733). Users that installed CU15 successfully on or after 12 December will not get the new build 44945 as the software is identical. Any future cumulative update will then bring both groups of users up-to-date to the same build number again.

Cumulative Update 14 for SDL Trados Studio 2017 SR1 (Build 14.1.10014.38031, Released on 10 October 2018)

Studio

SDL Trados Studio 2017 SR1 Cumulative Update 14 (CU14) addresses an issue with saving target for IDML file types while the IDML Failed to save target content: Method not found error is thrown.

Cumulative Update 13 for SDL Trados Studio 2017 SR1 (Build 14.1.10013.37703, Released on 3 October 2018)

Important note: With this cumulative update, we have moved away from the previous approach of applying patches (using a Microsoft Patch file - .msp) and started using a full installer (.exe files installing several Microsoft Installer files - .msi). With this method, we fully replace an existing installation rather than patch it. The installer will be downloaded via the AutoUpdate feature as before, so nothing changes from that perspective. Once fully downloaded, the installer (.exe) will launch and update your Trados Studio 2019 installation with the fixes and enhancements listed below. This will take roughly the same time as installing Trados Studio from scratch. For more information on the AutoUpdate process, see Downloading and Installing Cumulative Updates below.
This also means that you will not be able to uninstall a CU update as before. To go back to a previous version, you need to uninstall the whole application and then use a full installer.
SDL Trados Studio 2017 SR1 Cumulative Update 13 (CU13) addresses the following issues:

SDL Trados Studio Application

  • Added a new option for PerfectMatch in regulatory flows that preserves inconsistent translations in duplicate content.

Cumulative Update 12 for SDL Trados Studio 2017 SR1 (Build 14.1.10012.29730, Released on 31 July 2018)

SDL Trados Studio 2017 SR1 Cumulative Update 12 (CU12) addresses the following issues:
SDL Trados Studio Application

  • The main change in CU12 is in the licensing mechanism for Trados Studio 2017 that will benefit all users who are upgrading their Trados Studio instance to the new Trados Studio 2019 release. When going through the upgrade process for your Trados Studio license and generating the Trados Studio 2019 upgrade license, that 2019 license will contain a specific capability that authorizes both Trados Studio 2019 and Trados Studio 2017 to be licensed on the same machine. This mechanism will allow all Trados Studio 2017 users to be able to continue running both Trados Studio 2017 and Trados Studio 2019 on the same machine, even though they have only purchased an upgrade license. This way you can continue working in scenarios where your end customer might specifically require Trados Studio 2017 and not yet Trados Studio 2019. Additional details:
    • The mechanism described here works for local licenses. It is not supported for network licenses. For network licenses with mixed version scenarios, contact your SDL account manager.
    • Trados Studio 2017 CU12 can use both any existing Trados Studio 2017 license as well as the Trados Studio 2019 upgrade license. As long as you do not deactivate the Trados Studio 2017 license in the product, Trados Studio 2017 will remain activated. If you return the 2017 license, you will not be able to reactivate your Trados Studio 2017 license until you install CU12 delivered here. Installing CU12 then allows Trados Studio 2017 to use the 2019 license.
    • Importantly, if you did deactivate the Trados Studio 2017 license before you have installed CU12 delivered here, you will not be able to get CU12 through AutoUpdate, as it needs a running instance of Trados Studio to update itself to CU12. Since you have deactivated Trados Studio 2017 CU11 or earlier, it can no longer find any license and it will not allow you to run AutoUpdate. If you are in this scenario, you can get the installer for manual installation under 'Downloading and Installing Cumulative Updates' below to address this problem. (Another alternative in this scenario is to run the AutoUpdate executable that will launch the AutoUpdate process without requiring Studio to run. You can find the AutoUpdate client here: C:ProgramDataSDLSDL Trados StudioStudio5UpdatesTrueUpdate.exe. Double click this .exe file in Windows Explorer to run the AutoUpdate client.)
    • In summary, as long as you have not deactivated Trados Studio 2017, you can install CU12 through AutoUpdate as normal. Once you have installed it, you can deactivate it and the Trados Studio 2019 upgrade license will be used instead. This is what CU12 enables. If you have not deactivated Trados Studio 2017 yet, it will just carry on working - an existing license will take precedence.
    • The mechanism described in the above points is valid for the upgrade process from Studio 2017 to 2019 licenses only. For Studio 2015 and earlier versions, this process does not apply.
  • Other changes in CU12:
    • Fixed issue where the Update TM check box was unavailable from Trados Studio for WorldServer TMs for all SDL WorldServer 11 versions before 11.3 (CRQ-9405).
    • Fixed issue where the AutoUpdate notification box did not always display its contents properly (LTGS-1948).
    • Fixed the Object reference not set to an instance of an object error when closing documents with revisions under certain circumstances (LG-13986).

Cumulative Update 11 for SDL Trados Studio 2017 SR1 (Build 14.1.10011.20356, Released on 24 April 2018)

SDL Trados Studio 2017 SR1 Cumulative Update 11 addresses the following issues:
SDL Trados Studio Application

  • Fixed issue with the Trados Studio 2017 SR1 CU10 installer not installing the required version of the Microsoft.NET Framework. As a result of this, various errors were occurring under certain circumstances, such as when attempting to connect to SDL Trados GroupShare and/or SDL Language Cloud. (CRQ-9654).
  • The File > Language Cloud path to access SDL Language Cloud was removed. This prepares a future Language Cloud release with changed authentication mechanisms. All information on your Language Cloud subscription can be found in the Sign-In area in the top right corner in SDL Trados Studio.

Cumulative Update 10 for SDL Trados Studio 2017 SR1 (Build 14.1.10010.18573, Released on 11 April 2018)

SDL Trados Studio 2017 SR1 Cumulative Update 10 addresses the following issues:
SDL Trados Studio Application

  • Applying PerfectMatch during project creation used to lead to corrupted SDLXLIFF files and Analysis report under certain circumstances. This is now fixed. (CRQ-9113)
  • When connecting to a WorldServer TM, Trados Studio may show an Could not create SSL/TLS secure channel error. This is now fixed. (CRQ-7094)
  • Fixed issue with locked content tag order changing when applying a translation unit that was imported as a file in the TM. (CRQ-9134)
Core Components and File Types
  • Microsoft Word DOCX (WordprocessingML v. 2):
    • Fixed placement of option to extract document properties and option behavior for inline tags issue relative to their UI labels.
    • Fixed issue with quotes missing from a field if the field only contains whitespace. (CRQ-8979)
    • For Arabic language source files, it could happen that saving target files resulted in incorrect styling. This is now fixed. (CRQ-8835)
  • HTML:
    • Fixed issue with <span> elements that have the 'lang' attribute not being properly re-created in the target. (CRQ-8953)
  • XML:
    • Fixed issue with font formatting not being removed after it was was added to an XML file type. (CRQ-8981)
  • PerfectMatch:
    • Fixed issue with PerfectMatch not inserting all the matches and duplicating the segment numbers when using XML file with embedded content processor. (CRQ-6246)
  • XLIFF:
    • Opening for translation an XLF file containing an empty target segment with a comment attached to used to lead to a cascade of errors. This is now fixed. (CRQ-8888)
    • Values for status mapping are not displayed with hyphen instead of underscore.

Cumulative Update 9 for SDL Trados Studio 2017 SR1 (Build 14.1.10009.15268, Released on 21 February 2018)

SDL Trados Studio 2017 SR1 Cumulative Update 9 addresses the following issues:
SDL Trados Studio Application

  • You can now lock or unlock segments when in Review Mode or when Track Changes/TQA is active. You can lock and unlock segments containing track changes, but you still cannot lock segments that contain TQA issues.
  • For users to get more complete information when translating from Asian languages in the light of the new Asian tokenization option, there is now a Word column in the Analysis report for Asian source languages:
    • if the character-based tokenization (active by default) is used, the word column reports a single Asian-language character as one word and a Western-language word as one word.
    • if the new word-based tokenization is used, the word column reports Asian-language words as words identified by the new tokenization engine and Western-language words also as one word. This typically always results in a lower word count.
  • Fixed issue with Pre-Translate batch task not replacing 100% matches with context matches.
  • Fixed issue with Trados Studio throwing the Invoke or BeginInvoke cannot be called on a control until the window handle has been created error when the Automatically re-open previously edited documents option is selected.
  • Fixed issue with the GetTranslationMemories call in infinite loop for the TM API.
  • AutoCorrect: fixed issue where users cannot add abbreviations that contain more than one dot as exceptions in the First Letter tab of the AutoCorrect exceptions dialog.
  • Fixed issue with UI tags not being displayed for certain files when using machine translation.

Cumulative Update 8 for SDL Trados Studio 2017 SR1 (Build 14.1.6413.8, Released on 13 November 2017)

Trados Studio 2017 SR1 Cumulative Update 8 addresses the following issues:
Trados Studio Application

  • This release features full compatibility with SDL Trados GroupShare 2017 SR1 whose release will be announced separately. This means, among other enhancements, that the upLIFT Match Repair and the upLIFT Fragment Match features are now also available for server-based translation memories. Earlier releases of SDL Trados Studio 2017 and SDL Trados Studio 2015 can also be used to connect to server-based TMs in SDL Trados GroupShare 2017 SR1, but upLIFT functionality will not be available for these earlier versions.
  • Because the changes made to word tokenization for Asian languages can impact workflows and word counting invoiced to translation service buyers, there is now a new option in the project creation wizard to Use word-based tokenization for Asian source languages. This is not selected by default, so the old way of counting characters is enabled unless you change this.
  • Fixed inconsistencies in character count and word count for character-based (Asian) languages.
  • Added support for dictionaries in the SDL Language Cloud Machine Translation provider. Besides translation engines, users can now configure and use dictionaries from their Language Cloud account. By design, this functionality works for baseline, trained and industry engines, but not for AdaptiveMT engines, where terminology changes are applied through post-editing results and the engine adapting to that terminology over time.
  • Enhanced the AutoUpdate user experience:
    • the settings for AutoUpdate in the Trados Studio are now more straightforward and there is a new option to download updates automatically
    • there is now a new notifications area for broadcasting news regarding the availability of new updates
    • this new functionality will replace the previous cumulative update flow for the next cumulative update after this one.
  • The SDLXLIFF Converter for Microsoft Office plugin used to throw an error message when attempting to convert a file. This is now fixed.
  • When using the QuickInsert feature, the QuickTagList button is not enabled error was shown. This is now fixed.

  • Enhanced message prompts in the upLIFT fragment alignment workflow.
  • Fixed issue with saving Pre-translate files report when using the French user interface in Trados Studio.
  • Locked segments were not showing in the Locked Category in File Analysis. This is now fixed.
  • Fixed crash in the Trados Studio Editor and Batch Tasks while working with .sdlppx with Match Repair activated and having large termbases.
  • Log files for upgrading translation memories could not be deleted while Trados Studio was running. This is now fixed.
  • Changed the order of the terminology provider list so that the Language Cloud Terminology provider is now in the third position.
  • If the server TM list contained several thousand entries, the list could sometimes not be retrieved in Trados Studio. This is now fixed.
  • Fixed issue with file-based translation memory permissions that allowed a guest or translator user to open the file-based TM for editing in TM Maintenance view.
  • Fixed issue with saving changes in TM Maintenance view for TMs with Asian languages.
Core Components and File Types
  • New versions of the following file types were added:
    • Microsoft Word 97-2003 (updated to DOC v 2.0.0.0)
    • Microsoft PowerPoint 97-2003 (updated to PPT v 2.0.0.0)

    • Certain files could not be opened due to The document cannot be processed since it contains unexpected contents error. This is now fixed.
  • Alignment:
    • The alignment of XML files failed if order of non-translatable inline tag pairs was not the same in source and target file with the Multiple tags with the same ID 'X' have different start tag properties error. This is now fixed.
  • Portable Object:
    • Trados Studio was importing msgctxt fields for translation, if the contents of the field was spread across multiple lines. Multi-line msgctxt fields are now supported.

Sdl trados 2019 trial

Trados Studio 2017 SR1 Cumulative Update 7 addresses the following issues:
Trados Studio Application

  • Fix: The browser version preset by Trados Studio no longer causes crashes in the Web Lookup app. This should increase the stability of SDL Trados Studio when also using the Web Lookup plug-in.
  • Fix: Edit/Delete Translation Unit now works as expected in SDL Trados Studio 2017 SR1 with both LookAhead on and LookAhead off.
  • Change: To optimize performance with very large TMs containing upLIFT fragments, the default setting for partial TU fragment matches has been set to off by default. This reinstates the behavior in pre-SR1 releases. To switch it back on, go to Project Settings > Language Pairs > Translation Memory and Automated Translation > Search and adjust the settings under TU fragment.
  • Change: LookAhead no longer prefetches segments where it has not found a result in the translation provider. This re-enables use cases where a high fuzzy match follows on to the current segment, or where you add a new term on the current segment that you expect to see in the next segment.
  • Fix: Critical bug fixed in the new Trados GroupShare file assignment functionality of the New Project wizard in Trados Studio 2017 SR1.
  • Change: The character counter in the Trados Studio status bar counts white spaces again (re-establishing default behavior before SR1).
  • Fix: Fixed the Unexpected exception when completing task 'Analyze Files': Invalid number of analysis bands. error when creating a package from a project with a server-based termbase.
  • Fix: Package creation with termbase no longer fails with a sharing violation when Match Repair is on.
  • Fix: Package creation no longer fails with the Failed to save project 'NP1' to '[TEMPFILE].sdlproj': Object reference not set to an instance of an object error under certain circumstances.
  • Change: CU7 introduces a new setting under Project Settings > Match Repair to indicate if match repair should be used in batch processing. The default is off to allow faster analysis and pre-translation during project preparation.
Core Components and File Types
  • Translation memory engine: Fixed a problem where importing Japanese > English translation units with certain number formats could not be imported. Similarly, fixed a problem where a Japanese translation unit with certain number formats in the target segment could not be applied to a file, causing the An error has occurred while using the translation provider [...] Object reference not set to an instance of an object message.

    • The new Microsoft Excel file type is now listed first in the default file types list.
    • Fixed a problem where VLookup formulas were not working automatically when the target file was opened in Microsoft Excel.
  • Bilingual Excel:
    • Fixed a problem where it was not possible to process files with a column width of 255 or higher.
    • Fixed a problem where the file type was not identified correctly.

Cumulative Update 6 for SDL Trados Studio 2017 SR1 (Build 14.1.6284.6, Released on 1 August 2017)

Cumulative Update 6 addresses the following issues:
  • Removed all default keyboard shortcuts from the new Language Cloud sign in functionality so that it no longer interferes with frequent special characters in languages such as Polish.
  • Changed Trados Studio behaviour such that the AdaptiveMT, the industry and the custom engines are displayed correctly for all language variants in a project.
  • Updated the PDF file type to enable full support for the IRIS OCR add-on. The IRIS add-on is an app for SDL Trados Studio 2017 SR1 or higher that provides support for recognizing text in scanned PDF documents with Asian content. It uses advanced OCR technology to recognise Asian characters and convert them as faithfully as possible to translatable content in SDL Trados Studio, within the limitations imposed by the PDF file format. The app integrates with the PDF file type in SDL Trados Studio 2017 SR1 CU6 or later. The IRIS add-on is available on the App Store.

Downloading and Installing Cumulative Updates

A cumulative update is automatically applied when you use the AutoUpdate functionality available in SDL Trados Studio. AutoUpdate is turned on by default, so you will automatically be notified of the update as soon as it is available. Follow the on-screen instructions to download and apply the update.

NOTE: Applying the update may take some time, as the SDL Trados Studio installation is analysed before the update to ensure the patch can be installed successfully. As a rule of thumb, applying the patch will take roughly the same time as installing the application. SDL recommends that you use AutoUpdate. However, you can also apply the patch manually, as follows:

  1. Close SDL Trados Studio 2017 SR1.
  2. Download the ZIP file Studio2017SR1_CU18.zip from our FTP site (Username: sdlpatches, password: 5dlpatch35).
  3. The ZIP file contains an executable (.exe) file. Extract this to a temporary folder of your choice, such as C:temp. The .exe file applies to all editions of SDL Trados Studio 2017 SR1.
  4. Double-click the .exe files. This will launch the installer which will install the latest updates in the SDL Trados Studio 2017 SR1 installation folder as appropriate.

Sdl Trados Free Download

After the update release has been installed and Studio and/or your PC restarted, the issues described in this article should no longer occur.
