By the way, do you need translators to update your server-based TM as they translate, or just use it as a reference but send their own translated segments to their local TM (possibly to be checked by the senior editor/terminologist at a later time)? In the latter case, you can set up the server TM as a secondary (read-only) one, and you will have no problems with TMX performance I was talking about. [/quote]
That sounds like a very nice idea as well, thank you!
No, it's not really necessary that the server TM is updated in real time as the translators translate the texts. If that was possible, it would be absolutely perfect, of course, but I understand that it might cause significant traffic after each segment and thus slow down the translation, perhaps significantly (which is what I would absolutely like to avoid, since a slow workflow on a server based plattform is among the most annoying things with that approach). So having the TMs not updated in real time would be an acceptable trade-off, if it sllowed for a seamless overall performance. The main server TM (it even doesn't need to be a tmx-file - I just assumed that a tmx would be the most convenient format because all different CAT tools could use it) could then be updated manually after the project is finished, I think.
