Updating TMs after project file download

You can download the translated project files in their native format and update the TMs (translation memories), during any project phase, if you are not restricted in this regard by a user who has the Secure Project File Download permission.

Before you begin

You can update TMs after project file download only if you have the Write TU permission and if you are not restricted by a user who has the Secure Project File Download permission.

About this task

To restrict the download of project files to some users, users must be assigned a role which has the Secure Project File Download permission. The Secure Project File Download permission is assigned to the following roles by default: Administrator, Power User and Project Manager. During project creation, users in these roles must select the Prevent file downloads for this project checkbox, which means that only users with the Secure Project File Download permission will be able to download the source project files and the translated project files.

Procedure

  1. In the Projects view, select the project whose TM you want to update.
  2. In the project tab, do one of the following:
    • Select Download all files > Download preview for all target files > Include TM Update.
    • Select the checkboxes corresponding to the files you want to download and select selected files > preview of target version for selected files > Include TM Update.
    The target files are now downloaded as a zip archive which you can save on a location of your choice. The TM is automatically updated with the newly translated units.
