Filling in the TM attributes tab

The TM Attribute tab is available depending on your Configuration setup.

About this task

For example, you might want to store a client name or project code with translations created for that client or project. When you select a TM attribute on this tab, the selected attribute value will be added to every new entry that is added to the translation memory at the end of the job. When you display job details you will see the TM attributes and values that are assigned in this job.

Procedure

  1. Check the Assign TM attribute values for new translations box. This causes the translation memories in the selected TM sequence to be listed.
  2. Click the box beside the translation memory name to display the Available and Assigned boxes for the translation memory.
  3. Select the required attribute value in the Available box and click the right-arrow to add it to the Assigned box. You may be able to make multiple selections.
    • If the Available box is empty, there are no attribute values available to select for the translation memory.
  4. Repeat steps 1 and 2 for the other translation memories in the TM sequence you have chosen.
