After having done the following workaround in a project with 3 different TMs, one for me, one for the client and one from the Alignment Workflow.
1.) Alignment via Wordfast Anywhere with 2 Word Docs
2.) Import of created TM

5.) "Commit all Segments to TM"
It works with all segments for the TM that was created in the Aligner. And it works with the purple segments for my TM and for the client's TM, but the yellow and grey segments cannot be committed to those TMs.
There is probably a simple trick to make this possible. (?)
Thanks for your help. ▲ Collapse

... seems to be an option.
I hope I'm right.

Hi Patrick,
Do you have Write unedited fuzzy and exact segments to a TM in Preferences > Translation Memory checked?
Thank you,
John

Thank you, that worked.
I even had a look into TM preferences but must have overlooked this. I must admit, I even read the sentence but my brain didn't conclude anything from it. I also was in a hurry, desperately searching for the word "commit", because that's how the feature is called, "commit all segments to TM".
Maybe I'm alone with this and it might be because I'm not English native, but the phrase "write unedited fuzzy and exact segments to a TM" to me seems prett... See more Thank you, that worked.

Maybe I'm alone with this and it might be because I'm not English native, but the phrase "write unedited fuzzy and exact segments to a TM" to me seems pretty complicated and not exactly eye-catching.
With all respect to you busy developers who of course do a great job, I think we should keep every command as simple as possible.

...they could simply use the word "commit", "commit any kind of segment to TM" or why is that feature existing at all if there is the "read only" option for each TM?
I'm not that familiar with WFP yet and of course each specific feature has a special reason.
But still, I'm just the end-user, I don't even have to see the txml file or for example the other 4 files that are being created when making a revision.

But still, I'm just the end-user, I don't even have to see the txml file or for example the other 4 files that are being created when making a revision. That's like showing a guest in a restaurant all the dirty dishes that were necessary to make the meal. When I throw in a Word file, I'd like to have a Word file back. When I need a specific format for another tool, ok then give me the option to export as txt etc.
It has all grown pretty complicated for a common translator who is mainly just interested in the words on each page. Even though, when looking at WFP 4, you can clearly see that the trend goes towards "simplicity", which is good.
I'm just speculating here, don't take it too serious.

Hi Patrick,
Thanks, just looking for suggestions…
The reason for this option is that if you don't edit a fuzzy match or a machine translated segment, most people would not want it committed to the TM by default. When you check this option, it will write or commit them when pressing alt+down.
How do these sound?
"Commit unedited fuzzy matches and unedited machine translated segments to the TM"

"Commit unedited fuzzy matches and unedited machine translated segments to the TM"
"Commit fuzzy matches and machine translated segments to the TM, even if they haven't been edited"
"When using the 'Next Segment' command, commit the current segment even if it has not been edited."
These things are usually easy to improve, but it helps if we have suggestions for improvement, especially from new users who might find some things cryptic.
Thanks in advance,

Maybe that one
"When using the 'Next Segment' command, commit the current segment even if it has not been edited."
Thanks

The "Write unedited fuzzy..." is relatively self-explaining. I think it would be better to activate it by default, maybe showing a warning to the user on first occurrence. Or maybe have it shown to the user during the project creation stage.
Is the second part, "...and exact matches", that I don't understand. I mean, is there any situation when I DON'T want to write an exact match to TM?

And, what if I don't want the fuzzy matches in the TM, but I DO want the exact matches? By the way this option is presented, it seems that I can have both or none.

There is a warning, isn't it?
When clicking on the segment and afterwards on "commit" it appears "you have not changed this segment, are you sure you want to continue?".
However, when I do a proofreading, sometimes when clicking on the segment, the original entry in the source file is being replaced by e.g. a 69% fuzzy match and even disappears. I don't understand that at all.
e.g. 2 segments:

limpeza das áreas interiores - Reinigung der Innenbereiche
As soon as I click on the 2nd segment "..... áreas interiores" the original entry is being replaced with the anterior segment and gone. ▲ Collapse

Thank you!
Clicking on the segment replaces the translated content with a fuzzy match from the TM.
