Hello,

From your question, I understand that you want to use an existing Translation Memory (TM) filter during the TM Export function in Trados Studio 2024 CU2. Unfortunately, Trados Studio does not currently support the direct import of TM filters during the export process. However, there is a workaround that you can use:

Step 1: Open the Translation Memory view.

Step 2: Apply the filter you have created to the TM.

Step 3: Once the filter is applied, only the Translation Units (TUs) that pass the filter will be visible.

Step 4: Now, you can export the TM. Only the filtered TUs will be exported.

Remember, the filter is specific to the TM that is open, so ensure that any fields used in the filter also exist in the TM where it will be used.

This is not correct for Trados Studio 2024 CU2. While the applied TM filter affects what is displayed (visible), the export function will always export the entire TM. Please make alternative suggestions.

"Question improvement suggestion": The question is clear, but it would be helpful if you could provide more details about the specific filter settings you are using.

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

Hello,

I apologize for the confusion. You're correct that in Trados Studio 2024 CU2, the export function will export the entire TM, regardless of the applied filter.

As an alternative, you might consider using the SDLTM file with the filter applied in a new project. Here are the steps:

Step 1: Create a new project and add the SDLTM file with the applied filter as the project TM.

Step 2: Translate the new project using the 'Translate to Fuzzy' function. This will populate the project TM with only the TUs that pass the filter.

Step 3: Export the project TM. This will give you a TM with only the filtered TUs.

Please note that this is a workaround and might not be ideal for all situations.

In this workaround, what am I to use as the translatable files? The TMs again?

"Question improvement suggestion": The question is clear, but it would be helpful if you could provide more details about the specific filter settings you are using and the type of files you have available for translation.

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

Hello,

In the workaround I suggested, the translatable files would be the files you intend to translate in the new project. The SDLTM file with the applied filter would be used as the project Translation Memory (TM).

Here's a more detailed explanation:

Step 1: Create a new project in Trados Studio 2024 CU2.

Step 2: Add the files you intend to translate to the new project.

Step 3: Add the SDLTM file with the applied filter as the project TM.

Step 4: Translate the new project using the 'Translate to Fuzzy' function. This will populate the project TM with only the Translation Units (TUs) that pass the filter.

Step 5: Export the project TM. This will give you a TM with only the filtered TUs.

After searching the ideas section, I found various suggestions that seem to match my question here:

 Add the import and export button on the TM export dialogue box 

 Use saved filter for TM exports 

Would be good to combine these two, as I think they are asking for the same functionality.
