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:
| Properties | Trados GroupShare TMs | Trados Studio TMs |
|---|---|---|
| Accessed via a client application like Trados Studio | YES | YES |
| Accessed from anywhere | YES | NO |
| Accessed and updated concurrently by many users | YES | NO |
| Stored on a database server | YES | NO |
| Stored on a local computer | NO | YES |
| Managed by Trados GroupShare | YES | NO |
| Managed by Trados Studio | NO | YES |
