How to navigate translation memories

If you have more than one translation memory open for maintenance in the TM side-by-side editor window in the Translation Memories view, you can navigate them by:

  • Double-clicking a translation memory in the navigation pane to display the translation memory in the TM side-by-side editor window and make it the active translation memory.
  • Clicking the translation memory name tabs. The translation memory name tab appears at the top of the TM side-by-side editor window.
  • Clicking the translation memory navigation buttons that appear on the top bar of the TM side-by-side editor window.

These are the translation memory navigation buttons:

Click the left and right arrow buttons to display each translation memory in turn.
Click the down arrow button to display a list of all open translation memories. Select a translation memory from the list to display the translation memory.
Click this to close the translation memory from the TM side-by-side editor window. When you click this button, the translation memory still remains on the navigation pane so you can easily open it at a later point.

Only one translation memory can be displayed in the TM side-by-side editor window at any time. This is known as the active translation memory.
