Hello,  

It sounds like you're experiencing difficulties updating your Trados Translation Memory (TM) with your SmartCat TM. Here are some steps you can take to troubleshoot and potentially resolve the issue:

**Step 1:** Check the Error Message  

Make sure to note the exact error message you received when attempting the update. This information is crucial for diagnosing the problem.

**Step 2:** Upgrade Translation Memories  

Instead of using the default import option, try using the "Upgrade Translation Memories" option. This can often resolve issues related to importing TMs. You can find more information about this in the Trados Studio help documentation.

**Step 3:** Verify File Compatibility  

Ensure that the TM files you are trying to import are compatible with your version of Trados Studio. If you are using legacy TM files, make sure you have all the necessary files (e.g., *.tmw, *.iix, *.mdf, *.mtf, and *.mwf) for the import to work correctly.

**Step 4:** Check for Updates  

Make sure that your Trados Studio is updated to the latest version. You can check for updates by going to Help > Check for Updates within the application.

**Step 5:** Clean Up the TMX File  

If you are importing a TMX file, consider cleaning it up by removing overly long translation units, as this can sometimes cause import failures.

**Step 6:** Test with a Simple Path  

If your TM is located on a network drive, try copying it to your local C:\ drive and attempt the import from there. This can help avoid issues related to network paths.

If you continue to experience issues after trying these steps, please provide the exact error message and the version of Trados Studio you are using for further assistance.
