FAQ concerning TM import:
Can we change the "Modify the existing TM record" setting via the API?
Example: there are scheduled automated imports but each import should be with different setting, can you use the API to change the setting, run the import, and then restore the regular setting?
It is only a global setting, there is no such option to perform that kind of action via API. It is possible through the database.Is it possible to import a big file (190 MB already zipped) through UI?
In the UI there is a limit of 150 MB per file. Such big files we always import through API or if the client has no license for it - we can use our internal tool to split the TMX into smaller files.If the TM has segments IDs, is each segment created as a separate TM entry, even if the source is identical?
Yes. For more information about duplicates management refer to Duplicates behavior (TM import).If the TMX file contains target language “pt_BR“ but in the UI you import it as “pt_PT“ will it import anyway?
Yes, only the first part of the language code, in this case “pt“, is taken into consideration. If you import it through the UI choosing target “Portuguese” (pt_PT) the segments will be imported as Portuguese.Is it possible to import TM via Excel together with all the metadata that is inside the file?
The only metadata possible to be imported via Excel is segment id, the column containing it must be named “segmentid“. Other metadata will not be imported, but xlsx files can be converted to TMX through our internal tool. In this case please write to help-localization-engineers-migration channel on Slack.
It is currently not possible, the option must be checked. However, it is possible in TMX files.
