TM updates

After translating a segment, you can add the new translation to the TM which is currently open. Any custom field values specified in the TM update settings are automatically assigned to the new translations as soon as you add the new translation. These translations are immediately available to use in file lookups.

Note that, if you update the TM with a TU that has tracked changes in the source and/or target, the TM is updated with all changes accepted.

Automated updates

By default, a new translation is automatically added to the TM when you confirm the translation or approve the translation. By default, this updates the project TM. However, if no project TM is available, the main TM is updated. You can change which TM is updated.

Manual updates

If you prefer to add the translations manually, you can change this setting at any time in the Automation settings which are located in the Options dialog. You can then manually update the TM with new translations for the active document in the Editor view. To do this, run the Update Main Translation Memories or Update Project Translation Memories batch task from the File menu.
