Which segmentation rules are used in a project with multiple TMs ?

Hi

I have a project linked to 5 TMs (Trados Studio 2022).

The project contains one Word file.

When I run the "pre-translate" batch, from which of the 5 TMs does Trados take the segmentation rules ?

Since - possibly different - segmentation rules are attached to each TM, I was wondering which ones are used ?

Thanks everybody for your help.

  • Hello Olivier,

    In Trados Studio, when you have a project linked to multiple translation memories (TMs), the segmentation rules that are applied during the "Pre-Translate" batch task are taken from the primary TM. The primary TM is the first TM in the list of TMs in your project settings.

    Here's a step-by-step guide:

    Step 1: Open your project in Trados Studio.

    Step 2: Navigate to the "Project Settings" menu.

    Step 3: In the "Language Pairs" section, select "All Language Pairs" or the specific language pair you're working with.

    Step 4: Click on "Translation Memory and Automated Translation".

    Step 5: The TMs are listed in order of priority. The first TM in this list is your primary TM, and its segmentation rules will be used during the "Pre-Translate" batch task.

    Remember, if you want to use the segmentation rules from a different TM, you can adjust the order of the TMs in the list.

    I hope this helps! If you have any other questions, feel free to ask.

    Best regards,
