Copying Translation Memory

Local Translation Memory can be copied to a local file. The file copy is in the Wordfast Pro 4 format and cannot be used with Wordfast Pro 3.

To copy a Translation Memory:

  1. Go to the Projects list tab (refer to Opening Projects).
  2. Select and open the project.
  3. Click the Project TM tab.
  4. Select a translation memory.

    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 .

  5. Click Copy TM (shown above).

    The Copy TM dialog box appears.  

     

    Note: If Flip Languages is selected, the source TM and target TM languages are reversed.
  6. Enter a name for the copy and its destination folder.
  7. Click Copy.
