Advanced import of alignments into TMs
After reviewing an alignment result (*.sdlalign) file in the Alignment view, you can send the aligned segment pairs to a translation memory (TM) as translation units (TUs) while specifying advanced settings, which determine the way TUs are imported depending on their status.
Procedure
What to do next
In the Translation Memories you can navigate and further edit TUs. Each TU shows the default system fields and the Quality, Source and Target File custom fields that Trados Studio assigns automatically to the alignment pairs. The quality value is calculated based on an internal alignment algorithm which considers linguistic and contextual dependencies between the source and target segments in the file. The Source and Target File fields show the location of the files from where the TU originated. To edit custom fields values, select the field value and make the required changes.
