Hello!
Could anybody tell me how I can update an existing Trados TM of mine as I would like to change the translation of a few terms?
Many thanks in anticipation for your suggestions!

Select \"Maintenance\" from the menu \"File\", then click \"Constrains\", define your filter criterions according to the description in the Help file.
Important: to find a phrase type *phrase* as filter criterium, so the system will search for every segment including the word \"phrase\".

1. You could export the TM as a text file, edit it in Word, then re-import it.
- File ¦ Export ¦ OK
- (edit the *.txt file in word)
- File ¦ Import ¦ OK
2. If you still have your original, uncleaned translation (or the *.bak file), you can change the words as they appear in the original translation, then \'translate\', selecting \'update TM\'.
- Edit document in Word

SITE LOCALIZER | With F3 (concordance) | Sep 19, 2002 |
When you like to use optimal text space in the workbench, you can hide/show the menu bar by pressing Alt+F10. In case of a hidden menu, you can access the mentioned segments quicker in the next way:
1 go to the workbench
2 click on F3
3 type you phrase (only source)
4 click with your right (I mean: not the left) mouse button on the appropriate source flag or target flag (doesn\'t matter)

8 when you don\'t need to change any other unit, close the Concordance window
ready
Regardless whether you hide your menu bar or not: when not every phrase \"X\" should be replaced by phrase \"Y\", you can perform this in Word with \"Search and Replace\" by ex- and importing the TM:
1 go to the workbench (eventually: show your menu bar by typing Alt+F10)
2 menu File
3 choose \"Export\"
4 click OK
5 type a name for the txt file
6 open the txt file in Word
7 make your changes with \"Search and Replace\": don\'t use \"replace all, but always choose \"Search\", eventually followed by \"Replace\")
8 go to the workbench
9 menu File
10 choose Import
11 choose Overwrite
12 choose the txt file you just changed
you\'re ready
