Segments are merged and not added after modifying a 100% match. Is this customizable?

Hi everyone,

It looks like when I modify a 100% match segment and I confirm it, the modified segment is not added as a new TU in the TM but merged to the original segment (with custom fields being added).

I would like to keep both versions in my TM : the orginal TU that was found as being a 100% match and a new TU with my modifications (and new custom fields).

Is this possible? Can I customize this behaviour in the settings?

Thanks a lot for your help and have a good day.

  • Hello,

    I apologize for the confusion. If you can't find the "Update TM with confirmed segments" option, you can still add a new translation to your Translation Memory (TM) without replacing the existing one. Here's how:

    Step 1: Open your segment in Trados Studio.

    Step 2: After making your modifications, instead of confirming the segment as you normally would, go to the "Home" tab.

    Step 3: Under "Segment Actions", select the arrow below "Confirm" and choose "Add as New Translation".

    This will add your modified segment as a new Translation Unit (TU) in the TM, while keeping the original 100% match intact.

    I hope this helps! If you have any other questions, feel free to ask.

    Best regards,

    TradosAI
