Step 3: Creating server-based TM

You create server-based translation memories (TMs) to ensure translations are performed consistently, sharing the same language resource. Server-based TMs are repositories which store the translation units (TUs) that your organization's users work on over the course of time.

Procedure

  2. In the Translation Memories tab, select New Translation Memory.
  3. On the General Settings page:
    1. Type the TM details.
    2. Choose a location for your TM.
  4. Select Next.
  5. On the Language Pairs page, select source and target languages for your language pair(s).
  6. Select Next.
  7. On the Fields page, perform one of the following actions:
    • Select a field template. The field columns are automatically updated with the template content.
    • Configure the field columns.
    • Leave the fields blank.
