Confirm but not update TM (SDL Trados Studio 2017)

Hi folks,
How do I confirm a segment so that it autopropagates (where applicable) without updating my TM. The shortcut that reads 'Confirm' (Ctrl+Shift+F) does not cause any effect. Is it functional at all? If yes, what it is supposed to do? Thank you.

  • I'm afraid there is no shortcut for that, as in your program settings you certainly have activated the option to update TM (File -> Options -> Editor -> Automation):

    So any confirmation updates TM, unless the above setting is changed. But if you do that, you simply overrun the main purpose of any CAT tool, which is building up a translation memory.

    So what would be the purpose to autopropagate without writing to TM? If the translation you want to AP is not conform with what you want to have in your own TM, create another one just for the purpose of this job. However, you never know when you can reuse it...
