TM import options
TM import options determine how TUs are imported.
You can access the TM import options SDL Trados GroupShare imports TUs as a background task.
When updating server-based TMs with new TUs via import operations, the new TUs will be available for lookup, but the TU count will be updated after 60 minutes.

| Recompute Fuzzy Index Statistics | Select this option to remove the 1000 most frequent words from the fuzzy indexes. Words that occur very frequently TUs are not useful for fuzzy indexes. Typically, these are words like a, the, to. Recomputing can make a difference in performance for large TMs. If the TM has less than 50,000 TUs, it will not make a noticeable difference. |
| If target segments differ | Description |
|---|---|
| Add new translation units | Import the new TUs as an addition to the existing ones. |
| Overwrite existing translation units | Import the new TUs and overwrite the existing TUs in the TM. |
| Leave existing translation units unchanged | Keep the existing TUs and do not import the new ones. |
| Keep most recent translation units | Keep the most recently changed TUs. SDL Trados Studio imports a TU whose source segment is identical to that of an existing TU only if the imported TU is newer than the existing one. If the change date of the imported TU is older than the change date of the existing one, Trados Studio does not replace the existing TU. |
