Click this and select the translation memories and automated translation servers you want to add to the project:
File-based Translation Memory - Select this to add a translation memory that is stored locally in a file. The Open Translation Memory dialog box is displayed. Browse to the location of the file, select it and click Open.
Server-based Translation Memory - Select this to add a translation memory stored on a server. The Select Server-based Translation Memory dialog box is displayed where you can connect to a server and select the translation memories.
Select SDL BeGlobal Enterprise to connect to an SDL BeGlobal automated translation server. Use the SW Enterprise Translation Server option if your company has purchased an installation of Language Weaver Enterprise Translation Server and installed it on a server. Use the BeGlobal Online option if you or your company has purchased he BeGlobal hosted services (Software as a Service). This requires a user and API key for authentication.
SDL Language Cloud to connect to the machine translation engines that you subscribed from your SDL Language Cloud account. The SDL Language Cloud MT engines are trained using domain-specific content to generate translation results that typically require less post-editing.
Google Translate - Select this to connect to the Google Translate automated translation server. This is now a paid for service that requires an API key. The API key you enter here will update all other projects that use Google Translate.
Select one of the AnyTM options for local or server based TMs if you want to use a translation memory with languages that differ from the ones in your project.
SDL WorldServer Translation Memory - Click Add and select SDL WorldServer from the drop-down list. Select a translation memory or translation memory group.
Using Google Translate, SDL Language Cloud or an SDL Automated Translation Server may violate your non-disclosure agreement with your translation customer. Check with your customer before connecting to these translation providers. The *.sdlxliff bilingual file records if you have used one of these providers during translation.
Click this and select the type of translation memory you want to create to add to the project:
New File-based Translation Memory - Select this to create a translation memory that is stored locally in a file. The New Translation Memory wizard is displayed. Complete the pages of the New Translation Memory wizard and click Close.
New Server-based Translation Memory - Select this to create a translation memory stored on a server. The New Server-based Translation Memory is displayed. Complete the pages of the New Server-based Translation Memory wizard and click Close.
The translation memories are ordered by priority (highest priority being the first translation memory in the list). This translation memory priority is used to determine the order in which Studio makes translation memory suggestions.
