Running batch tasks: Populate Project Translation Memories

You can run a batch task to create a project translation memory (TM) for each target language (if one does not currently exist) and update the project TM with translations. You can run this task anytime during the project lifetime or as part of the Prepare task sequence (when a project is created).

About this task

A project TM contains translations taken from the TMs selected for a project.

Procedure

  1. Decide whether you want to run the batch task sequence on an entire project or some project files:
    • To run batch task sequences on an entire project, go to the Projects view and select the project you want to run batch task sequences on.
    • To run batch task sequences on a file or a selection of files, go to the Projects view, select a project, and then go to the Files view and select the file or files you want to run batch task sequences on.
  2. On the Home tab, select Batch Tasks.
  3. Select Populate Project Translation Memories.
  4. On the Batch Tasks page, consult the task/task sequence description. If you want to run another task, select it from the Task Sequence drop-down list.
  5. Select Next.
  6. On the Files page, all files for the active project are listed. Select the files on which you want the batch task to be run.
  7. Select Next.
  8. On the Settings page, select:
    • Create file-based translation memories to generate a file-based TM including the translations taken from the TMs selected for a project.
    • Create server-based translation memories to generate a server-based TM including the translations taken from the TMs selected for a project:
      1. Select an available server or browse Servers to add the server which will store the TM.
      2. Consult the default location of your new server-based TM or browse the available options to change it.
      3. Select an available container or browse the available options to change it.
  9. Select Finish.
