The ApplyTmTemplate plugin's primary purpose is to apply a template to many TMs at once, but it can also:

• export the resources from the template to an Excel document,
• to import language resources from an Excel document to a template or
• to import language resources from a TM to a template.

 You can find this plugin in the Add-Ins ribbon tab.

When you start the application, please first select a relevant Template.

If you don't already have one, you can create a new 'Language Resource Template' via the Translation Memories tab

When you open the application, please select the relevant Template.

(If you don't select a template (and have added TM's, you will see a warning message)

Select /Deselect the options you wish to apply. Now select Add Folder or Add TM's

And now select the required TM's you wish to apply the template-

(nothing will happen if you don't select the required TM's- The Apply option will remain disabled)

If the template is new, instead of clicking on Apply you'll need to click on the template path, to expand the context options and select "Import from TMs to template". This will update the template with the TMs rules.

Now select Apply. -

Once complete, you can hover over the TM and see tool tips showing whether the Template has been applied and if not, the reasons for this.
