Creating Local Translation Memory

A new local Translation Memory can be created for an existing project as described below.

  1. Go to the Projects list tab (refer to Opening Projects).
  2. Select and open the project.
  3. On the Project TM tab, click Create Local.

    The Translation Memory and Location columns can be ordered by typing the first letter or two of the item to head the list then clicking or to the far right. These columns can be searched by typing in a string of characters that are contained in the entry of interest. When a matching, unique string is found in an entry, only that entry is presented in the list. To restore the list, click the Clear Filters icon .

    The Translation Memory Create dialog box appears.
