Non-edited Google MT segments won't appear in TM results

If I understand you correctly, a colleague created a TM based on an unedited machine translation by Google?

How the TM was created is not relevant, however: you have a Studio based TM (sdltm) into which the tmx was imported?

The TM is active in your current project? And you mention that you did check the entries (in TM view?).

You have imported or created a bilingual sdlxlff file in the project? (nb: a tmx is also a bilingual file).

The problem is that when you start translating the sdlxliff, the target segments are not populated with the (supposedly identical) matches (which you might call MT confirmed results?) in the TM?

That all being said, Studio is sometimes buggy and does not show any results in the translation results pane and doesn't populate target segments. The first thing I always try when this occurs, is:
Go to File > Options > Language Pairs > All Language Pairs > Translation Memory and Automated Translation and select "Search".
In the right hand pane, you'll see Minimum Match Value fields for Translation and further down under Concordance.
Sometimes randomly lowering or increasing these values (e.g. from 70 to 65 or vice versa), and making sure the first 3 check boxes (under Translation) are ticked (although the 3rd one is not needed if you yourself are not connected to any MT engine), might kick Studio into action.

Let us know if that makes sense and if that helps.

This then sounds like the unedited segments were not confirmed (i.e. written) into the tm? What is the status in the status column of the segments that don't show up in the translation results or concordance window?
