In the meantime, based on the information you have provided, here is a suggested answer to your question:

Hello,

When you import an SDLXLIFF file into Translation Memory (TM) in Trados Studio, and the target segments differ, the option "Keep most recent translation units" refers to the most recent translation units based on the date and time they were last modified, not the creation date.

This means that if you have two different translations for the same source segment, and you choose the "Keep most recent translation units" option, Trados Studio will keep the translation unit that was last modified.

Here's how it works:

Step 1: Import the SDLXLIFF file into TM.

Step 2: If the target segments differ, you will be prompted with the options: Add new translation units, Overwrite existing translation units, Leave existing translation units unchanged, and Keep most recent translation units.

Step 3: If you choose "Keep most recent translation units", Trados Studio will compare the modification dates of the conflicting translation units.

Step 4: The translation unit with the most recent modification date will be kept in the TM.
