Hmm, I had never thought about TM maintenance before.
I like to see instantly where a particular match is coming from, so at the moment I work with separate TMs from separate sources (EMA terminology, European terminology, terms used in Company X's lab manuals etc.
It might be useful to be able to put more related segments into one TM, but only if I can see where the segment came from (e.g. what project I was working on at the time) when the CAT tool detects a match.
Merging different TMs should be easy to do - for some tools, that can be a bit fiddly.
I don't ever manually edit any TMs, apart from changing source codes ("nld" for a particular CAT tool one of my clients likes, to "nl" so I can use the TM in Wordfast).
TMs that can be used directly in different CAT tools would be nice, but does not seem very realistic at the moment.
Good luck with your paper - because many of us just work with them, not actively maintain TMs (I think!), this might be quite a tricky one to research! [/quote]
Is there a CAT tool that exports tmx files with a nld code? What is it? That's clearly wrong, i.e. incompatible with the tmx spec.
