What are working TM and master TM?

A working TM stores translations in real-time as you translate within the Grid, whereas a master TM stores all finalized translations once a project is completed. After reviewing and approving translations in the working TM, you can merge it into the master TM.

Using a working TM helps create separate spaces for your TMs. This ensures that the master TM remains well-organized, containing only approved translations. Each working TM is specific to a single Grid, so TM terms from other projects or Grids won’t interfere.
