Hello, 
 Is this possible, and how do I go about it? 
 Thanks again.

Hi Pascal, 
 The easiest approach is to create a Project in Studio with all these XLIFF files and then run a batch task to update the TM you attach to the Project. Once the Project is created and you have SDLXLIFF files instead you could also import these directly into a TM too. 
 Pay attention to whether the segments have a confirmed status or not because if they are not confirmed you need to make sure and check the appropriate box on import/update to bring in all the content you want.

 Clearly because you have not added it, It won't automagically get there ;-) 
 Alexander Schleber said: b) of all the listed TMs only two have a specification of languages in that column. All the rest are listed as "n/a". 
 You are not telling us all the story here and I do think you don't understand what you're looking at. In here you have several things that stand out: 
 
 language directions of the recognised TMs and in opposite directions. This makes me think these are not your Project Settings 
 you have also added TMs to the specific language pairs which is why you see this message: 
 The N/Acould be because you removed these languages from the list but left the TMs in there? Not sure... insufficient context. 
 
 I think you need to step back and understand the basics first. Maybe read these articles:
