Can I use a 2nd TM from another customer as reference only without it being updated? Thread poster: Fredrik Pettersson

Can I use a 2nd TM from another customer as reference only without it being updated? Both this 2nd TM that I want to use as reference only without updating it and the 1st TM that is for the customer of my current project have the same subject area: Human resources/education.

My project in question is completely local, no connections to any server. When I created this local project, I also created a new translation memory. Then I found out that I have translated similar contents but for another customer, so I want to add this 2nd translation memory as a reference translation memory only without it being updated with any new entries from my current project. Is that possible somehow? It was a long time since I used SDL Trados Studio now, but I think I can recall that i... See more My project in question is completely local, no connections to any server.

Make the TM you want to update the Working and Master TM. Any further TMs won't be updated. | |
