Hello Marguerite Storm ,

I think it would help to answer each question in turn.

Marguerite Storm said:

- can I access TMs from both ends? Are they stored on a cloud? 

TM's are normally stored locally on your machine- meaning you would need to transfer these manually from one PC to the other each time.

However, you can store the TM in the cloud if you wish- (DropBox for instance) and access the resources as long as you have a stable internet connection.

If you decide to use cloud storage- always make sure you have a back up copy locally.

Marguerite Storm said:

- what about apps? do I need to install them separately on both computers? 

Yes- you will need to install these individually on each machine.

- I see that Trados now has a product called Online Translation Editor, would this be useful for me?

Not really as you are using Studio- OTE is more for the casual 'gist' translator

- same question for SDL Language cloud

As a professional translator using Studio- Language Cloud will I am sure benefit you and help speed up translations.

Although you will probably need to edit the suggestions, once done you can save these to your TM and reuse them.

If you need any more help, please don't hesitate to ask.

You will store TM's on DropBox pretty much the same way as you store them locally- but instead of the address being your C: drive, (C:\Users\yourname\Documents\SDL Studio 2019\Studio 2019\Projects\Samples\SampleProject\TMs you will do this on DP

First of all you should install the desktop application- this makes everything that little easier.

Then create the TM folder in DropBox and save (copy) your TM's to the folder (I would suggest renaming the TM's you store on DB so you know which TM's are local and which are in the cloud.

Now when you create a project, you can simple choose use file based translations and select those that you have in the 'cloud'
