Translation Memory and Automated Translation > Update

Use the Translation Memory and Automated Translation > Update settings to specify the field values to assign to new translation units when updating the translation memory. By default, a new translation is automatically added to the translation memory and assigned the field values specified when you confirm a translation during editing. If you prefer to add the translations manually, you can change this setting at any time. Automation settings are located in the Options dialog box.

These settings appear in multiple dialog boxes in SDL Trados Studio. Click here for more information about finding the appropriate dialog box.
