Is there any way to edit a Translation Memory using Track Changes?

The only way to do this, because there is no maintenance capability in the T that would support this, is do do something like the following:

1. Export your SDLTM to XLIFF (in bite sized chunks)
2. Create a Studio project with the XLIFF files
3. Use track changes in Studio to edit the files as you see fit
4. Once done update to a new TM, or simply update the segments you changed by correcting them in the TM results window

Point 4. is obviously going to take longer if you work that way, but it will be the only way to guarantee you retain the additional hidden values for context matching for example and don't create new ones that perhaps don't make sense since the flow of the segments in the TM may not match the original flow of the file you translated.

You can find a little more about this process here:

Thank you, Paul!

I think this is the way to go. I may have some questions about Point 4 but I trust that, after reading your article, the whole process will become clear.

Best regards.
