Hi,

I have the following scenario using trados studio:

3) in the wizard, create a new file-based TM, call it test_101_TM

Now simply go to the .sdlxiff file and right click, choose "update project translation memories".

Then check "Always add new translation to the translation memory" (and also tried not checking it)

So, can anyone tell me what's wrong?

Or, even better, how to import the contents of a .sdlxiff file into a translation memory?

Regards

If you want to have a Project TM, choose the Task Sequence called "Prepare" in the Project Preparation step, instead of "Prepare without Project TM". This step will automatically create and populate your Project TMs.
