Maintaining Translation Memories
From time to time users may have to perform maintenance work on a TM.
Maintaining a TM can involve, among others, the following typical tasks:
- Browsing through a TM to review translation units
- Doing global find/replace operations, e.g. to replace outdated terminology with up-to-date terms
- Apply certain field values to a number of TUs, e.g. add the field value Customer > Microsoft to several TUs in one go
- Delete a set of TUs that are outdated or incorrect
- Tune a TM for performance
- Identify and remove potential duplicate units that clutter the TM
- Filter for a subset of the TM, e.g. all units created on or after a specific date
In Trados Studio, the maintenance work is typically done by users in a side-by-side TM view.
