Project translation memories (TMs)
A project TM contains translations that have been taken from the main TMs that you selected for a project. The translations whose match degree meets at least the minimum match requirement you have specified will be retrieved into the project TM.
You can create and populate the project TM when you run the Populate project translation memories batch task. This is run as part of the Prepare task sequence during project creation. The name of the project TM is the project name plus the language code.
A server-based project TM is created when you use a server-based TM in your project. A file-based project TM is created when you use a file-based TM in your project. If needed, you can change this in the project TM settings when you run the batch task to create a project TM.
When file-based project TMs are created, they are placed in the TM folder in the same location as the project folder.
You create project TMs in the following situations:
- The project TM is updated throughout the project life cycle and can be used by translators. This prevents translations that have not yet been approved from being updated to the main TM, but IT allows them to still be shared between translators.
- You can choose to include a project TM in project packages or create a new project TM, specific to that package. You may want to do this if you have a large main TM and you want to decrease the package size and increase the speed at which results are displayed for translators.
