Hi Paula,

I have few questions:

1) Are you trying to cleanup from Quick Tools Cleanup or Project Cleanup inside the current project?
2) How do you add the attributes?
3) Do you add to same TM from TXLF editor as well?
4) Is this local or WFServer TM?
5) WFServer TM I need more info on how it is setup?

Any steps on the order you added TUs to TM, screenshots of the same TUs not being overwritten, and screenshots of Cleanup tab settings would help. If you add TUs through editor check what options you have in Project Preferences.

Thank you,

Hi John,

Thanks for your help. Here are my answers:

1) I always clean up from Quick Tools Cleanup.
2) I don't add attributes manually. Should I?
3) Yes, as I translate the document, I commit to the TM with Alt + down arrow.
4) It is a new local TM, with nothing in it.
5) No WFServer TM.

I'm not sure how to include screenshots here, but I'll specify the selected options below:

- PREFERENCES > New Project Preferences > TM

NO Write unedited fuzzy...
NO Copy source when...
YES Add to TM by overwriting the existing TU

In the Replaceables section, all options are marked.

- QUICK TOOLS > Cleanup

TM Update Options
Update Option: Overwrite existing TU
No other options marked in this section

Thank you so much for your help. If you know how to add screenshots here, let me know!

Kind regards,

Paula
