Hi. With reference to SDL Studio 2009, if you have, say, an EN>FR translation memory but you have a FR>EN translation to do, can you use the EN>FR memory? If so, what do you need to do? TIA for any help.

Do you want to invert your memory? Jul 7, 2010

I am not sure if you mean what I think - of course you would not translate the other way round using the same memory (you can, naturally, create a new one for the "opposite direction"), but this has already been discussed here, for instance:

Is that it?;)

Hi Jana,
same issue alright, but dating back to 2004. I'm looking for help with Studio 2009.

Still the same procedure. Jul 7, 2010

Well nothing has changed since then.
It's still the same procedure.

Hi Bian.
Okay, that sounds good. So, can you quickly run through the procedure again?
I mean:
- Export all translation units.
- Create a new database for the opposite language pair.
- Import the previously exported units.
- Reorganise the database.
What does "Reorganise the database" amount to?

File>Reorganise ? Jul 7, 2010

Again, I am not sure if I understand correctly. In the "old" Trados (Workbench), you open your newly created TM (opposite language pair) with the previous TM data imported, and there is an option File>Reorganise, there should be something similar in your version. It has to do with the integrity of your TM: in this case, I guess, it "flips" the units, swaping each source and target unit in the pair.
