How to edit both TM and a segment from a document somewhere?

While I was translating documents, I found some errors from fuzzy matches and edited them.

I thought those segments in the documents were modified, but I happened to notice they weren't.

The translation result showed the edited version, but the segment in the edit window wasn't changed.

Is there a way that a modification of TM applies to a segment as well?

How can I fix my earlier errors of segments that I see in the translation result window, but I don't know where is?

  • One way, if the files are not too large, is to open them all together into the editor using a virtual merge.  Then make sure your TM is attached to the project and then use the translate to fuzzy feature:

    Trados Studio menu showing 'Confirm and Translate until Next Fuzzy Match' option highlighted with a red arrow.

    This will cause Studio to run through your translation and stop at every location where the TM entry is different to the segment translated.

    Another way, if you're confident about the quality of your TM for this specific translation is to run a pre-translate batch task with these settings:

    Trados Studio batch processing settings with 'Pre-translate settings' showing 'Minimum match value' set to 90 and 'Translation overwrite mode' set to 'Overwrite existing translation if there is a better match in the TM'.

    1. make sure the min match value is low enough to catch all the translations that need to be updated
    2. set the overwrite mode to overwrite the existing translation if there is a better match in the TM
