Can anyone tell me exactly how to define text and attribute fields in Trados Work Bench and what kind of information should be inserted into each one? I can't follow the Trados instructions here - they're not the most transparent of explanations...

I would like to add the client and project names to my TM units so that I can recognise where each concordance result comes from after I have merged all my TMs together.

I have Trados SDL 2006.

Don't forget to change the client's name when translating the next project, where you'll only have to write the data you wish to appear. Personally, the information I like to see is the Agency's and end Client's name. Obviously, mine too.

Good luck.
