Preferring entries from existing golden TMs

If you already have a golden TM, you might want its entries to have precedence over other entries, including the ones from TMs that contain newly added content. In this scenario, for a given project, values might be updated from the entries in the golden TM, but subsequent projects should prefer the golden entries.

Procedure

  1. In WorldServer, go to Management > Linguistic Tool Setup > TM Sequences Setup and click the name of the TM sequence that you want to modify.
  2. On the TM Sequence: <name> page, in the Update TM list, select a TM other than the golden TM.
  3. Set the reference TMs by moving the appropriate TMs from the Available TMs list to the TM Sequences list.
  4. Save the TM sequence.
  5. In the tm.properties file, set the save_ice_match_segments property to true.
    This ensures that all leveraged translations are stored in the updated TM.
  6. Stop the WorldServer service and start it again.

Results

During the standard leveraging process, WorldServer will prefer TM entries from the golden TM.
