Translation memory and Automated translation
You can determine what translation memories (TMs) and automated translations are applied to files.
- What main translation memories, project translation memories and automated translations are applied to files.
- Whether these are included in look-ups and concordance searching.
- Whether the translation memory will be updated with the translated content from the document(s).
These settings appear in multiple dialog boxes in SDL Trados Studio.
