Making a TM the active TM

In order to display and work on a translation memory (TM) in the TM side-by-side editor window of the Translation Memories view, you need to make the TM the active TM.

About this task

You can have several TMs open at the same time in the TM side-by-side editor window of the Translation Memories view. However, only one of these can be displayed at any time and this TM is known as the active TM.

Procedure

  1. Go to the Translation Memories view.
  2. Do one of the following:
    • If the TM appears in the navigation tree, double-click the TM or right-click, and select Open from the context menu.
    • If the TM is not in the navigation tree, select Open > Open Translation Memory.
    • If the TM is one of many that are currently open in the TM side-by-side editor window, select the name-tab of the window that contains the TM.
