Using AnyTM with file-based TMs
AnyTM supports file-based translation memories (TMs). You can add file-based TMs to be used by the AnyTM functionality.
Procedure
- Decide whether you want to use TMs:
- For all future projects - Go to File > Options > Language Pairs > All Language Pairs > Translation Memory and Automated Translation.
- For the current project - Go to the Projects view, and select the project. On the Home tab, select Project Settings, and then go to Language Pairs > All Language Pairs > Translation Memory and Automated Translation.
- On the Translation Memory and Automated Translation page, select Use > AnyTM: any file-based TM.
- Select the TM you want to use. You can select AnyTM, regardless of whether its languages match the project languages. For example, the project languages are English (United Kingdom) > German (Switzerland). The selected TM is English (United Kingdom) > German (Germany). If you add the TM as the first in the list, you will see that the Update checkbox is selected by default. This will result in your TM being updated with content in different languages than the TM was originally created for. If this is not what you want, make sure to clear the Update checkbox.
If you now open a file from this project in the translation editor, you will see that matches from the TM are being found. You can of course assign a penalty to the TM with mismatching languages if you do not want any translations from non-matching TMs to be autoconfirmed.
