Hi,

Sometimes, for phrase A, it will be translated to B in some posts, but to C in other posts. So I do not want A->B to be saved to the translation memory automatically. How to do?

Hi there.

I wanted to also double-check with my colleagues first, to make sure that I am giving you an accurate response.

This is not possible - Translation Memory will always return the exact same content that was initially recorded and we can't have it avoid specific wording.

Kind regards,
Mihai Apetrei

Hi there.

Sorry if I was not clear.

I wanted to say that, before getting back to you, I wanted to first get in touch with my colleagues and make sure that my response is accurate.

So my response above is confirmed by my colleagues, too.

This is not possible with WPML, at least not for now. The Translation Memory function is there to save any existing translation so that it won't "charge" you credits next time. It can't be set to ignore specific words.

I hope that I was clearer this time.

Mihai
