Does Trados 2015 support TM merge of different source language?

Question

HI, there, 
 I am wondering if Trados 2015 support the merge of different source languages? For example, I have a TM A, with source language Chinese and the target language English. Now I have TM B, whose source language is English and the target language is Chinese. I want to merge TM A with TM B. Is it practical? 
 
 Thank you for your help! 
 
 Best Regards, 
 Maggie

You can do this easily by exporting one of the two TMs and importing it into the other one. This will give you a merged TM, which however will still be unidirectional, thus either ZH-EN or EN-ZH. If you want, you can the create an inverted TM for the other direction. 
 
The answer to the question whether this is practical is individual. From a purely linguistic point of view, one should not merge different language directions. Personally, I would not do it. I would keep the two TMs separate, but assign them both if needed to a translation project using AnyTM.
