Batch delete translation units
You can delete translation units (TUs) via batch tasks to discard them automatically from your translation memory (TM).
About this task
Before You Start
Procedure
- In the Translation Memories view, if the translation memory you want to update is not in the navigation tree, open the translation memory (select from the menu bar).
- If you want to delete a set of translation units (not the entire translation memory), a filter that will select the translation units must exist before you start the Batch Edit wizard. Click How to Create a Filter to find out how to create a filter.
To batch delete translation units from a translation memory:
Procedure
- In the Translation Memories view, make the translation memory for which you want to batch delete translation units the active translation memory.
- Go to the Home tab and select Batch Delete from the Ribbon (or right-click the translation memory and select Batch Delete from the shortcut menu).
- In the Batch Delete wizard, select the filter that identifies the translation units to be deleted.
If you want to delete all translation units in the translation memory, select <no filter>.
- Click Finish. SDL Trados Studio starts deleting translation units and the Applying batch delete script page is displayed.
- When the batch delete is complete, click Close to close the wizard.
