Cleaning and Updating TMs

After files are translated, the translation project is ready for a clean up and an update to the Translation Memory files. File clean-up process requires manual initiation. Following this clean-up an automated process removes the source segments and restores the files to their original format.

To clean up and update the TM:

Open Wordfast Pro and select Quick Tools from the Wordfast 4 drop-down menu.

Note:
Up to 20 files can be cleaned up at a time using Wordfast Pro in Demo mode. To clean up more than 20 files a Wordfast Pro license is required.
Optionally, select Update TM for updating files to a Translation Memory.
Select the Translation Memory.

At least one Translation Memory is needed before file clean up can be initiated. To add a local or remote Translation Memory, see Creating or Opening TMs for more information.
