Hello,

have you found a "cheap" way to host TMs and termbases for real-time sharing while working on Trados Studio or memoq projects?

Thank you,
José Ruivo

Have you looked into Language Terminal for this?

Workaround Apr 9, 2023

Language Terminal seems to require a memoQ plugin for Trados. The available plugin version dates back to 2017. Trados 2021 won't support it. You can try a workaround when you create several copies of your TM, each for one translator, and put it in a cloud-based location like DropBox or OneDrive.
For example, you create 3 TMs:
1. EN-PT_Jose.sdltm — write for Jose, read only for Grigori and Stepan
2. EN-PT_Grigori.sdltm — write for Grigori, read only for Stepan and Jose
3. EN-PT_Stepan.sdltm — write for Stepan, read only for Jose and Grigori
The full description of the workaround is here. Pay special attention to the paragraph that mentions twenty minutes.

Thanks Grigori for the sugestion! Using this solution, can all users using the same TM at the same time write tio the TM?

One step further... Apr 11, 2023

Assuming this might require a more sophisticated/costly solution, but do you know a way of having several users working on the same project, and at the end of the day knowing who did how many new words, and who benefited from who many repetions, fuzzy matches, etc?

If you're a freelancer, you can use Wordfast Server along with the SDL 2019 plugin (2019 only). Wordfast Server is free for freelancers for up to 3 simultaneous connections.

Regarding the latest question, this is hard to do. I know that in Wordfast Anywhere, you could set up a project, split a file and assign portions of it to colleagues. In the advanced menu, youwill be able to set up the linguists tasks and then know how much they're assigned. That's a TMS function (which is basically what you're asking for in your last question).

Hope this helps

Thank you very much for the sugestion. I have used Wordfast like that in the past, and forgot about it. One doubt: what does TMS stand for?

TIA

PS - Translation Management System... Any sugestions about one that does what I'm after?
