Creating or Opening Translation Memory

Translation Memory (TM) is designed to provide maximum content re-use and to facilitate collaboration between globally distributed localization resources. Translation Memory includes a database of terminology (glossary of terms) and a blacklist (list of restricted terms) database. Translators can leverage reusable content in the following two ways.

1. Local TM: The local Translation Memory is located on a non-internet system with limited, local access.

2. Remote TM: The remote Translation Memory is located on a server accessed through the internet and available to many translators concurrently. The translators can leverage the shared content as well as update the Translation Memory with new reusable content.

Note: Generic users restricted to Read Only privilege cannot un-check the Read-Only checkbox in the TM List to write to a remote TM. Generic Users with Read and Write privileges can un-check the Read-Only checkbox in the TM List enabling Read/Write access to the remote TM.
