Live TM mode

WorldServer translation memories (TMs) can be configured to operate in live mode. In live TM mode, entries are added to the translation memory constantly during the translation process, and the status is tracked to distinguish various types of entries. Translation memories are updated whenever the segmented asset cache is updated. Any operation that updates the segmented asset cache will update the translation memory (for example, saves to the Asset Interface System, uploads from desktop translation tools, and so on).

In addition to enabling real-time sharing of translation memory, live translation memory mode makes it possible to effectively update projects by restarting tasks without losing work.

The combination of live translation memory mode and segment status makes it possible for translations to go into translation memory as soon as possible for the benefit of all translators. At the same time, translators can distinguish between translations that have been through a review process and those that might have just been added.

As translators work, the source and target text are copied from the segment cache to the translation memory. The segment translation status (Pending Review, Reviewed, Rejected, or no status) determines if a segment is added to or updated in the translation memory and what translation status the corresponding entry should have.
