how to transform a Termbase into a Translation memory?

Hi everyone, greetings from France.

I am not a newbie for Studio 2017 SR1 but I have a simple problem:

I have to translate an Excel spreadsheet English to French that is going to be the glossary of a pretty large translation project that will come once the glossary is validated by the customer. Yes there are people that work the right way.

I know how to generate a proper Termbase from the translated spreadsheet, but I am wondering if I could use it in the form of a TM?

All I am trying to do is to be as efficient as possible in the translation process since this glossary is about 10,000 words.

I apologize in advance if this problem has been answered before (I am quite sure that the bilingual file type could help, but I admit I am not very familiar with this type of format).

Any help, idea is welcome.

Thank you in advance,

Ivan
