Batch Processing > Translation Memory Updates

Use the Batch Processing > Translation Memory Update settings to identify which translations are added to the translation memory (TM) and whether they are added as new translation units or replaces an existing translation unit.

Studio updates the translation memory when you:

Description

Add new translation units

Adds translations that have the statuses below as new translation units to the translation memory. This means that the existing translation units in the translation memory are not overwritten.

Overwrite existing translation units

Imports the new translation units and overwrites the existing translation units in the translation memory.

Leave translation units unchanged

 

Keeps the existing translation units and does not import the new ones.

For server-based TMs, this option is only available if the TM you are updating is available on an SDL Studio GroupShare server, version 2014 SP2 or later.

Keep most recent translation units

Keeps the most recently changed translation unit. Studio imports a translation unit whose source segment is identical to that of an existing translation unit only if the imported unit is newer than the existing one. If the change date of the translation unit for import is older than the change date of the existing one, Studio does not replace the existing translation unit.

For server-based TMs, this option is only available if the TM you are updating is available on a GroupShare server, version 2014 SP2 or later.

 

Segment Status

Select the status that a segment must have in order for the translation to be placed in the translation memory.

Translated, Translation Approved and Signed Off are selected by default.

Not Translated

The segment target has not been translated or edited yet.

Draft

The segment target may have been edited but it is not yet considered fully translated, or a translation memory match was applied to the segment but the segment text has been edited since then.

Translated

The translation is confirmed as complete.

Translation Rejected

The reviewer rejected the translation of the target segment.

Translation Approved

The reviewer accepted the translation of the target segment.

Sign-off Rejected

The reviewer rejected the translation of the segment during the sign-off process.

Signed Off

The reviewer approved and signed-off the translation of the segment.   

 

TM User ID

Click this to edit your translation memory username. Studio uses your Windows username as your default TM User ID. You first set this ID after installing Studio and you can change it at any time from File > Setup > Users or from this window.

The TM User ID is used to indicate who added or last edited a translation memory unit. Make sure that you are using an ID by which the project manager can easily identify you before running the Update main translation memory or the Update project translation memories batch task.
