Question

Hi there, 
 Today i have a new question about translation Memory. 
 So my company have this big translation memory which we have accumulated over 3 years. 
 And we are doing translation for some legal documents (law, ordinance, guide line, etc) so the same content do repeat quite often. 
 Sometimes for the same sentence there may be up 2~3 suggest from translation memory. 
 So the thing is my colleague want to track down which original document (project) were the applied translation recorded, because he want to verify the quality/credibility of that translation. He also want to track down who recorded that translation into the TM. 
 Is that tracking feasible? Linh

Hi Dang Phuong Linh ,

Out of the box this is not possible. You would need to create fields to hold the value of the file name and then make sure your TMs are updated with the name of each file as you worked on them. You can automate this if you use this app from the SDL AppStore: multifarious.filkin.com/.../

 This is recorded out of the box as a system field as long as the translators don't anonymize themselves.
