NOTE

You cannot automatically undo changes made to the task translation as a result of applying or reapplying a translation memory. Before you apply a master or working TM, we recommend that you save the current translation. Then, if you do not want to retain the changes made by applying the TM, you can revert to the last saved version by exiting the task without saving and then reopening the task from your SDL TMS inbox.

Description

TM Apply

Translation Memory

Select the translation memory (TM) to be applied. The translation memories that were applied to the task during pre-processing will be available for selection and the working translation memory.

Threshold to Apply

Specify the fuzzy matching threshold to be used when searching the selected TM for matches. The % threshold specifies the degree of match that must exist between the source segment and the translation memory segment before the TM translation is applied.

For example, if you select 75%, the TM translation will be leveraged into the current task where there is at least a 75% match between the TM text and the task text.

Action

Click Apply to apply the selected TM using the settings you have specified.

Remember to save the current translation before you apply the translation memory. That way you can revert to the current version of the translation if you want to.

TM Update

Select the working TM to be updated.

Note: Only the working TM can be updated from here.

Action

When you have selected a TM, click the Update button to update the selected working TM.
