Hello,

It seems like you're encountering an issue with your account being linked to an organization. This usually happens when you're part of a team or company that has already set up an account with Trados. In this case, you should reach out to your account administrator or team leader who has access to the Trados account for your organization. They should be able to assist you in setting up your user ID and getting started with your first Translation Memory (TM).

Once your account issue is resolved, you can start creating your first TM. Here's a simplified step-by-step guide based on the context provided:

Step 1: Set your user ID in File > Setup > Users. This ID will be used in the system fields 'Created by', 'Last modified by', and 'Last used by'.

Step 2: To create a new TM, go to File > New > New Translation Memory.

Step 3: The New Translation Memory wizard will open. You can create a new memory from scratch or base it on an existing TM. Fill in the Name, Location, and Languages fields, plus Description and Copyright if appropriate.

Step 4: Click Next to open the Fields page. Here, you can create custom fields with value options for the translation units.

Step 5: Click Next to open the Language Resources page. Here, you can select a language resource template and decide how the word count should handle hyphens, dashes, formatting tags, and apostrophes.

Step 6: Click Finish to create the memory. Once the Creating page tells you that the TM is completed, click Close.

Remember, this is a simplified guide. For a more detailed guide, you can refer to the Trados Studio user manual or online resources.

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

Best regards,
