Creating a Golden or Reference TM

Over time, TMs can grow tremendously. At some point, the user may decide that the current TM contains a lot of “junk” entries. Perhaps a product is no longer supported, or perhaps the segmentation rules have changed, reducing the usefulness of a lot of the data. (Note that segmentation directly affects leveragability against a TM.) For whatever reason, the user may need to filter out some of the data to create a new golden, or reference, TM. To do so, create a TM group as follows:

Procedure

  1. Create a new empty TM to use as the Update TM.
  2. Set the reference TMs. Establish the desired order for all the TMs that will be used for leveraging.
  3. Set the TM property, save_ice_match_segments, to true, which forces all leveraged translations to be stored in the write TM.
  4. Assign the new TM group to the appropriate AIS path containing the content to be used to populate the new TM. Create a project that will leverage the content and store only the translations that have been fully leveraged. As a result, the new TM will contain entries corresponding to the translated content.
  5. Configure the AIS path to use only the new reference TM, and not the group.
