Cumulative Update 8 for SDL Trados Studio 2019 SR2 (Build 15.2.8.3007, Released on 26 January 2021)

But first let’s briefly see how logical properties work in CSS. Logical Layouts and Content Direction. The main goal of CSS logical properties is to enable developers to easily flip layouts when the writing-mode or direction property changes. Say you have an LTR (left-to-right) website and you want to translate it into an RTL script like the ones used with Arabic or Hebrew. If the target language of the document that needs to be translated is an “RTL” language, meaning that it is read and written from right to left, Adobe InDesign has a very useful feature to reflect the disposition so that it will be interpreted properly: Layout – Reverse Layout. More information: Arabic and Hebrew features in InDesign. GTS provides fast, high quality translation of InDesign files. If you have a high-res publication which was authored in InDesign you can submit the native files to us for translation into over 80 languages. This includes RTL (right-to-left) languages such as Arabic and Hebrew; and all Asian languages including Chinese, Japanese, Korean and Thai.

SDL Trados Studio 2019 SR2 Cumulative Update 8 includes the following updates and fixes:
Cloud User ID added to comments, track changes and TQA items
Comments, track changes and TQA items that you add to cloud project files are now tagged with your Language Cloud user ID. This ID is taken from your cloud account name and is generated from the First Name and the Last Name information available on your cloud user profile.
For local projects, Trados Studio continues to use your Windows username. This is picked up when you install Trados Studio and can be changed from File > Setup > Users.
Fixes

  • Trados Studio no longer loses connection to server-based translation memories (TMs) after 12 hours of editor inactivity. Instead, the GroupShare token is now automatically renewed for Windows and SDL authentication. For SSO authentication, you are prompted to log back in, without having to reconnect again to the GroupShare server. (CRQ-10873, LG-26638).
  • In specific scenarios, GroupShare projects created from a template and published without a due date were not visible on the GroupShare server. This issue is now fixed. (CRQ-18638)
  • Trados Studio can now correctly save custom segmentation rules for GropShare server-based TMs. (LG-23150)
  • Target comments on segment level were incorrectly deleted after applying TM or when copying source segment to target. This is now fixed. (CRQ-21857).
  • Fixed access issue to WorldServer group TMs that restrict TM updates to a specific user. (CRQ-17192, CRQ-20414)
  • When creating new projects, the file-based TMs generated from GroupShare 2015 server-based TMs are now correctly populated with the available translation units. (CRQ-1392)
  • Fixed 'Error: Could not find a part of the path' that was occurring when importing project packages with trailing space in the package name. Instead of blocking the package import, Trados Studio now prompts you to change the project folder file path in order to remove any spaces before '.SDLPPX' file type. (LG-27163)
Known issue
Trados Studio shows a separate notification for each time you click the Check for Updates option. When product updates are available, clicking Download or Install in more than one notification interrupts the active download or installation. Be sure to use just one notification message for updating or installing purposes.

Cumulative Update 7 for SDL Trados Studio 2019 SR2 (Build 15.2.7.2849, released on 7 July 2020)

With this cumulative update (CU), we are mainly updating the licensing mechanism for Trados Studio 2019 in preparation for the upcoming Trados Studio 2021 release.

IndesignWhen you activate a Trados Studio 2021 upgrade license, the updates in this CU will enable you to use both Trados Studio 2021 and Trados Studio 2019 on the same computer. This way, you can continue working on projects for which your customers specifically require Trados Studio 2019, and not yet Trados Studio 2021.
Additional details:
  • Trados Studio 2019 CU7 can use both an existing Trados Studio 2019 license and the Trados Studio 2021 upgrade license. As long as you do not deactivate the Trados Studio 2019 license in the product, Trados Studio 2019 remains activated. If you return the 2019 license, you will not be able to reactivate your Trados Studio 2019 license until you install CU7 delivered here. Installing CU7 then allows Trados Studio 2019 to use the 2021 license.
  • Importantly, if you did deactivate the Trados Studio 2019 license before installing CU7 delivered here, you will not be able to get CU7 through AutoUpdate, as this is only available when an active Trados Studio instance is running. Since you have deactivated Trados Studio 2019 CU6 or earlier, Trados Studio cannot find an active license and does not allow AutoUpdate to run and install CU7.
  • To solve this problem, download the manual installer from the Downloading and Installing Cumulative Updates section below. Alternatively, run the AutoUpdate executable that launches the AutoUpdate process without requiring Trados Studio to run. You can find the AutoUpdate client under C:ProgramDataSDLSDL Trados StudioStudio15UpdatesSdlUpdateClient.exe. Click this .EXE file in Windows Explorer to run the AutoUpdate client.
  • In summary, as long as you have not deactivated Trados Studio 2019, you can install CU7 through AutoUpdate, as normal. Once you have installed it CU7, you can deactivate Trados Studio 2019 and the Trados Studio 2021 upgrade license will be used instead. This is what CU7 enables. If you have not deactivated Trados Studio 2019 yet, it will just carry on working - an existing license will take precedence.
  • This upgrade compatibility mechanism works only for local licenses and does not support network licenses. To enable mixed-versions workflows with a network license, contact your SDL account manager.
  • The process described above is valid only for upgrading from Studio 2019 to 2021. For Studio 2017 and earlier versions, this process does not apply.

Cumulative Update 6 for SDL Trados Studio 2019 SR2 (Build 15.2.6.2831, released on 7 April 2020)

SDL Trados Studio 2019 SR2 Cumulative Update 6 addresses the following issues:
Main application

  • Enhancements
    • Support for Neural Machine Translation is more robust. Users are notified if they run out of NMT characters. (LG-21100)
    • The following SDL Trados Studio – SDL Trados GroupShare items have passed the Beta phase and are fully available: Analyze and Translate batch task, Prepare with GroupShare. (LG-21560)
    • The latest Neural Machine Translation Models can be accessed for all available languages via the SDL Language Cloud integration (LG-21107)
  • Fixes
    • Quick source/target language selection through inputting first initials on “Translate as Single Document” did not work. This is now fixed. (LG-22185)
    • When opening an SDL Language Cloud task in SDL Trados Studio, an “Illegal characters in path” error is triggered if the project has special characters in the name. This is now fixed. (LG-22093)
    • SDL Trados Studio stopped responding after using Concordance search in certain rare scenarios. This is now fixed. (LG-21341)
    • TMS and WorldServer packages could not be opened in SDL Trados Studio by double-clicking the package name in Windows Explorer. This is now fixed. (LG-20377) & (CRQ-16849)
    • Perfect Match did not observe the “Keep initial segment origin and status” setting when creating projects based on matching files. This is now fixed. (LG-22072)
    • When using the Community Advanced Display Filter to split an active segment, the operation sometimes resulted in an error. This is now fixed. (LG-21646)
    • When users went through the following flow in Studio: Editor view > Project Settings > Create new TM > Settings dialog, SDL Trados Studio switched to the Translation Memories view instead of keeping the Editor view active. This is now fixed. The Editor view is kept in the background. (CRQ-13393)
    • The “Last used by” and “Last used on” fields did not display correct values for the TUs included in server-based GroupShare TMs. This is now fixed. (LG-22201)
    • When working with server-based TMs, changes were not saved when editing custom field values for TUs from the Translation Results window. This is now fixed. (CRQ-18222)
    • When using the Edit Translation Unit window, previous TM Field values were saved in the TM alongside the updated values, rather than replacing them. This is now fixed. The system stores updated values correctly in all scenarios. (CRQ-18196)
    • When using the One Step wizard, if users switch between project templates, the Root folder and the project data were deleted under certain rare circumstances. This is now fixed. (CRQ-17166)
    • Creating a server-based TM (for GroupShare 2017 SR1) failed when using the Upgrade Translation Memories wizard in SDL Trados Studio. This is now fixed. (CRQ-15571)
    • When opening a project package, SDL Trados Studio tried to connect to the GroupShare server despite the fact that the links to the server-based TMs had been removed. This is now fixed. (CRQ-15398)
    • Updating TMs using the “Keep most recent” option did not populate the TU fields with both the existing and the new field values. This is now fixed and the TUs are updated with the merged field values when the “Update TM” batch task or an import is performed. (CRQ- 16388)
    • When working on SDL Language Cloud tasks from SDL Trados Studio, the Project Settings page displays an unfriendly name for the SDL Language Cloud translation engine provider. This is now fixed. (LG-22580)
    • The SDL Language Cloud NMT translation provider is not displayed in the SDL Trados Studio UI when switching the UI to a language other than English. This is now fixed. (LG-22579)
  • Known issues
    • When you open a project file for translation and enable the 'Full Tag Text' option, the Editor window displays the project folder temporary path instead of the path you specified in the 'Location Path' field. (LG-22933)
File Types and Core Components
  • Enhancements
    • Tokenization – Strings which included numeric ranges used to be parsed inaccurately. As a result, a number range like “300 – 301” used to be parsed like this: “300” and “-301”, leading to leverage loss and also impacting both translation quality assessment and fine-grained alignment used for the upLIFT functionality. This is now fixed. A numeric range like the one described above is now parsed as follows: “300”, “-“, “301”.
    • Handling long segments - Extremely long segments (2000 characters or more) caused performance issues and triggered exceptions when searching in translation memories or when performing other tokenization-related operations. Now, any segment longer than 2000 characters will be included in the word count and will be stored in the TM. However, these long segments will not be retrieved as matches during translation. Make sure that you update both client and server to their latest versions (SDL Trados Studio 2019 SR2 CU6 and SDL Trados GroupShare 2020 CU2) to benefit from consistent word count results. Any other combination of client and server applications may lead to slightly inconsistent word counts in documents with such long segments. (LCC-9402) (CRQ-18238) (LCC-9189)
    • XML 2 - Adding or editing a parser rule now gives users the possibility to convert an XPath generated for an element into a simpler XPath. (LF-4916) (LF-4915) (LF-4914)
    • IDML - The SVG tag is now supported. (LF-4936)
    • IDML - Adobe InDesign 2020 is now officially supported. (CRQ-17470)
    • Bilingual Excel – Quick inserts are supported. (LF-4919)
    • PDF - Updated SolidFramework to the latest version for better PDF handling (LF-4953)
  • Fixes
    • Server-based TMs - The values for the 'Usage Count', 'Last Used by', “Last Used on” fields are not updated when segments are confirmed or when applying the Pre-translate batch task. This is now fixed and the fields are updated. (CRQ-17357)
    • Server-based TMs - Searching a server-based TM does not return results when searching for Russian, Arabic or Chinese languages. This is now fixed. (CRQ-13777)
    • SDL Trados Studio now includes locked content after a full stop in the same segment. (CRQ-17615)
    • Segmentation incorrectly occurred after tags in some cases. This is now fixed. (CRQ-16565)
    • SDL Language Cloud language pairs - The English - Norwegian language pair could not be used when accessing this resource from SDL Language Cloud. This is now fixed. (CRQ-17603)
    • XML: OASIS DITA 1.3 Compliant - An empty uicontrol tag pair was not extracted even if set as inline tag. This is now fixed. The uicontrol is now extracted as inline tag. (CRQ-16191)
    • XML: OASIS DITA 1.3 Compliant - Clicking any parser rule returned a null reference. This is now fixed. Rules can now be accessed. (LF-4962)
    • XML 2 - The text found inside inline tags was deleted in the target segment. The text is now preserved. (CRQ-17688)
    • XML 2 - Inline tags and self-closed tags now work properly. (CRQ-17477)
    • XML - XML files could not be opened correctly. This is now fixed. (CRQ-16953)
    • XML - Errors would occur when opening an XML file with a custom file type. This is now fixed. (CRQ-16809)
    • XML and XHTML - The “Reset to Defaults” command from Validation settings now behaves the same for all the XML and XHTML file types. (CRQ-14285)
    • HTML - Entity settings are automatically updated after performing a reset to defaults. This is now fixed. (LF-4925)
    • HTML - Whitespace normalization incorrectly removed the   entity. This is now fixed. (LF-4882)
    • HTML - When dealing with HTML 5 files, non-translatable tags were rendered as translatable. The “May Exclude” segmentation hint is changed to the “Include with Text” segmentation hint. Non-translatable tags are processed as such. (CRQ-16917)
    • IDML - SDL Trados Studio merges identical “Topic level” names (set for indexes) in target files. This is now fixed. (CRQ-17197)
    • IDML - Target files could not be saved when endnotes were detected. (CRQ-17164)
    • IDML - Wrong segmentation occurred when abbreviations were detected in the file. This is now fixed. (CRQ-17073)
    • IDML - Rule segmentation now works as expected. (CRQ-17000)
    • IDML - IDML files were not imported when the source language is Italian and if the Abbreviation list in the TM included abbreviations & Segmentations. This is now fixed. (CRQ-16976)

    • XLIFF 2.0 - 'The 'ns:xxx' attribute is not supported on the Unit element' error occurred when opening an XLIFF with a namespace attribute. This is now fixed. (CRQ-17011)
    • MIF - Fixed the error “MIF: 'Value cannot be null. Parameter name: source' triggered by custom style applied to empty paragraph. (CRQ-17654)
    • MIF - Text direction was incorrectly changed for Arabic. This is now fixed. (CRQ-17303)
    • Bilingual Excel - Bilingual Excel files with inline formatting are now correctly opened and parsed. (CRQ-17974)
    • Bilingual Excel - Target cell formatting is now preserved for cells that were originally empty. (LF-4913)
    • Bilingual Excel - Filter options now correctly ignore hidden text. (CRQ-17283)

    • Microsoft Word - Empty content controls are now parsed correctly when opening a *.docx file. (CRQ-17729)
    • Microsoft Word - Hidden text from a *.docx file is extracted for translation if it contains a hyperlink. This is now fixed. (CRQ-16176)
    • Microsoft Word - Text is not imported for translation for a *.docx file because of specific style. This is now fixed. (CRQ-16903)
    • Microsoft Word - Errors would occur when opening certain *.docx files containing Track Changes. This is now fixed. (CRQ-16468)
    • Microsoft Word - If the source file contains certain permission information, the target translation was only partial. This is now fixed. (CRQ-17247)
    • Microsoft Word - Converting certain DOCX files to SDLXLIFF triggered errors. This is now fixed and the conversion process occurs as expected. (LF-4883)
    • Custom file type plugin - Fixed an issue where the custom file type plugin produced errors when running verification. (CRQ-17020)
    • Embedded Content Processor (ECP) - When the ECP Plain Text is used with the JSON file type, an “n” element is handled properly in markup, but in the target text an “r” element is added before “n”, leading to rendering issues for web content. This is now fixed. (CRQ-17302)

Cumulative Update 4 for SDL Trados Studio 2019 SR2 (Build 15.2.4.1693, released on 21 October 2019)

Indesign Rtl Direct

SDL Trados Studio 2019 SR2 Cumulative Update 4 addresses the following issues:
Main application
  • Neural Machine Translation (NMT) engines in Trados Studio:
    • SDL Machine Translation with NMT technology is now available from Trados Studio through the SDL Language Cloud provider. Learn more about SDL Machine Translation!
    • Users who use Language Cloud with the free subscription will benefit from a free SDL Machine Translation quota of 500,000 characters per month on their account. We will gradually adapt legacy subscription packages to start introducing NMT to them also.
    • If you have purchased more volume or already have an enterprise SDL Machine Translation account that you would like to use instead of the free volume, you can check and link your SDL Machine Translation (BeGlobal) subscription in your Language Cloud account on the Manage Account page.
    • SDL will also be looking at gradually retiring the previous machine translation offerings, which were based on statistical machine translation. We will ensure a smooth transition to the new NMT-based offerings.
    • See the SDL Trados Studio help for instructions on how to use SDL Machine Translation.
  • You are now able to search the list of project templates on the One Step page of the Create New Project wizard.
  • There is a new option in the Language Cloud Translation Engine selection dialog to skip translation lookup for draft or translated segments. This option is selected by default and prevents unnecessary lookups.

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 fully replaces the previously installed version. As a rule of thumb, applying the update will take roughly the same time as installing the application originally. SDL recommends that you use AutoUpdate. However, you can also apply the patch manually, as follows:

  1. Close SDL Trados Studio 2019 SR2.
  2. Download the ZIP file SDLTradosStudio2019_SR2_CU8_3007.zip from our Download Center. In Google Chrome, right-click on the hyperlink and select Save Link As... to download the file to a location of your choice. In other browsers, it may be possible to perform the download directly by clicking on the link.
  3. The ZIP file contains an .exe file. Extract this file to a temporary folder of your choice, such as C:temp. This .exe file applies to all editions of SDL Trados Studio 2019 SR2.
  4. Double-click the .exe file. This will install the latest release and replace as well as update the files in the SDL Trados Studio 2019 SR2 installation folder as appropriate.

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