Is it possible to insert matches from the TM without changing the segment status?

Is there any possibility to insert matches from a translation memory without overwriting the status of the segment (such as new, fuzzy etc.)? Normally, by inserting a match from a TM, the status will be changed to a 100 % match, however, I would like to keep the original status (such as for example memoQ does when inserting matches in a pretranslated file).

The background is that I have to repair a damaged file by inserting the matches from the TM which still works, but without having a translation that only consists of 100 % matches.

  •  When you confirm a segment default setting in Studio is to then update TM.
    This behaviour of a confirmed segment AND updating TM can be changed whereby you can confirm a segment and NOT allow it to update TM

    Trados Studio options menu with 'Update translation memory' checkbox checked under 'After Confirming Segments Manually' section.

    But I understand is you want to leave segments as they are, example: draft mode, or perhaps (unconfirmed / locked) and update your TM.
    Leaving your SDLXLIFF File and segment status as they are (not confirmed) you can update the TM as part of a batch task.at any stage

    Do pay attention that controls which segments  (based on status) goes into the TM



    Trados Studio settings window showing 'Translation Memory Updates' with options for segment status and updating translation memories.

    I trust this helps
