Importing translation memory data
You can import data into translation memories (TM) to reuse your current resources. The imported data consists of translation units (TUs) and their associated fields. You can only import supported file types.
Before you begin
If you want to import a number of files, place them all in a single folder so that you can import the folder.

About this task
Studio displays this page when you add an *.sdlalign file on the Import wizard. *.Sdlalign files are alignment result files that contain translation units generated after aligning the source with the target file of an existing translation.
On this page, you can tell SDL Trados Studio to triage only the translation units that meet a certain quality threshold value. You can also add custom field values to the imported translation units and specify other TM import options.
