Create a Local TM

Create a local translation memory (TM) for quick, local access. If it is possible you may need to share your TM with other users, connect to a free, hosted service: Wordfast Anywhere (WFA). Refer to Connect To a Remote Glossary.

To create a local TM:

  1. On the Projects tab, double-click a project from the projects list to open it.
  2. On the Project TM tab, click Create Local.
  3. On the Translation Memory dialog, enter the required TM configuration.
      Note:

    Required fields are marked with a red asterisk.
