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
- Create a new empty TM to use as the Update TM.
- Set the reference TMs. Establish the desired order for all the TMs that will be used for leveraging.
- Set the TM property,
save_ice_match_segments, to true, which forces all leveraged translations to be stored in the write TM. - 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.
- Configure the AIS path to use only the new reference TM, and not the group.
