GroupShare TMs and local TMs

Translation Memories (TMs) that are stored on SDL Trados GroupShare are called Trados GroupShare TMs. TMs that are stored on the user's computer are called local TMs.

Users can access and manage both TM types depending on their infrastructure, affiliation and needs. To access and manage a Trados GroupShare TM, users need to be part of an organization which assigns them roles that have sufficient permissions for these tasks. The two TM types share the following similarities and differences:
