The order in which TMs are listed is important, as Alchemy CATALYST searches them in a linear fashion. To move a TM up or down the list and change it's priority use the image119.gif and image120.gif arrows.


Active TMs and PowerTranslate

Only TM files that are active will be used for terminology lookups. An Active TM has a image111.gif mark adjacent to it in the TM list. Click on the checkbox adjacent to each TM to make it active and available for segment lookups.

An Active TM  can be used  with the PowerTranslate toolbar to provide suggested translations automatically. For more information on this, please refer to Using PowerTranslate Technology.
