Hi all,
I have the following problem (I use WF Pro, latest build): no matter which option is checked (global auto-propagation or partial), it does not work. I also cannot find anything about auto-propagation in the manual (the description of this function is absent there).
Is it a function that is expected to be working sometimes in the future or am I missing something here?
Thanks for enlightening me,
Natalia

Dear Natalia,
In the latest version of Wordfast Pro, Auto-Propagation is fully functional and should work without any problem.
In general, Auto-propagation means that if you have some "repetitions" (=segments with the same source text), and you leverage a segment (Alt+Space), translate & commit it (Alt+Down), or even change it without committing (moving with the mouse), the rest of the repeated segments will be automatically filled with the same translation.
There are three options under (Edit > Preferences > Auto-Propagation):
~ Disable Auto-Propagation: If you have some repetitions, leveraging or changing one of them will affect the current segment only and will have no effect on other repeated segments.
~ Global Auto-Propagation: If you have some repetitions, leveraging or changing one of them will change all the repeated segments – no exceptions.
~ Partial Auto-Propagation: If you have some repetitions, leveraging or changing one of them will change ONLY the repeated segments which are untouched, source copied or already auto-propagated. Other repeated segments, those that you have translated in a different way for some reason, will not be changed.
If you have any further questions, please let me know.

Many thanks for your prompt response.
Yes, automatic changing of the repeated segments when I change one of them is exactly what I need: I am editing a document with some repetitions.
I have just checked if I have the latest version - and yes, I have it. I have tried checking either the partial or global propagation options but either nothing happens (when I change one of the repeated segments) or I get an error: "Failed to update segment. The following error(s) occure... See more Many thanks for your prompt response.

The following error(s) occured: [Translation memory name here]: Failed to update tu. null"
What would would you suggest?
Thank you very much,

Dear Natalia,
Do you use a Remote TM?
Whatever the TM type you use (even if it is Local), try to re-establish the TM Connection by restarting Wordfast Pro, or "removing" the TM from the translation memories list and "opening" it gain.
I hope this helps. Please let me know.

No, it was a local TM from the outsourcer. After several unsuccessful tries, I removed the TM completely and unpacked a "fresh" copy of it from the ZIP attached to the email, and the error finally disappeared.
And auto-propagation also works fine now!

| How to autopropagate glossary? | Nov 5, 2010 |
Hello,
I'm trying to autopropagate my glossary into the target segments (something like PropagateAndHighlight in the Pandora box of WF Classic)
In Edit/Preferences/Terminology, I've tried all three possibilities (Copy only source, etc.) but nothing works, WFP only copies the source segment (I've selected Copy source on no match) into the target segment without propagating the glossary. I would welcome any advice...

Dear JSpin,
Currently, Terminology Propagation works only with the toolbar button Copy Source or Alt+Insert.
Currently, it does not work with "Copy source on no match" but this has been requested.

| autopropagation does not work | Mar 21, 2015 |
Hello everyone,
I have the same problem. Mine does not work too. It says TXML perspective appears, but there is none, or maybe I just don't know what it is.
Upon clicking everything as instructed, still nothing. I hope someone can help me with this.

| Fix (Wordfast Pro 3.4.7) | Apr 23, 2016 |
This problem has irritated me for some time.
I found a fix today using Wordfast Pro 3.4.7.
Go to ‘Auto-propagation in ‘Preferences’ (General > Translations > Auto-propagation). Ensure that ‘Enable autopropagation’ is checked.
‘Fuzzy matches’, ‘Modified segments’, ‘Machine Translated segments’ are already checked (defaults).
Check ‘Autopropagated matches’ (the default setting leaves it unchecked).

I have run some tests on the document I am translating, and it works now.
You also have the option to ‘enable auto-propagation across all files’.
