Hi,

I've finished a translation and checked it. Now I want to create a new and clean memory, containing only the segments as they are stored in the XLIFF file. What are the steps I have to take?

Thanks,

Hans

But .. this only works if I first Ctrl+Alt+down through the document. Am I overlooking something here?

Hi Hans,

See Project | Save project as... | Files of type and select Memory from
drop-down list.

Cheers,
Igor

On second thought: I think this feature should be moved to the Memory menu.

Create clean memory
Dump project segments to clean memory

or something like that.

Users wouldn't expect this feature in the Project menu, I'm afraid.

1. Create Memory | New memory
2. Select this new TM tab
3. Memory | Conversions | Import segments from Project

This alternative is via Memory menu :)

Hi Igor,

I interpreted 'Import segments from Project' as 'Import segments form another/external Project'.

Perhaps add 'from this project', 'from current project'.

Perhaps even 'Save segments from current project'?
