Hi everybody,

I have a client for whom I manage regular projects with a team of colleagues. In each project, I create a lexicon with client-specific terminology and send the content of that lexicon into a TM.

Hi everybody,

I have a client for whom I manage regular projects with a team of colleagues. In each project, I create a lexicon with client-specific terminology and send the content of that lexicon into a TM. This TM is expanded on an ongoing basis and serves as a glossary for the other translators working with me on that project.

I just noticed that certain entries occur in my TM/Glossary two, three or four times (because they were contained in different lexicons) and that the double ones are ALWAYS empty in the target cell. Can anybody tell me
1) why these double entries are empty in the target cell (is this a bug in Deja Vu?)
2) how I can easily get rid of the duplicate entries, other than using the "Find duplicates function" and removing them manually?
3) how I can avoid ending up with duplicate entries in the first place?

Thanks a lot for your help!

Best,

Olaf ▲ Collapse
