I have a problem with my TM, the source language is English and target language is Japanese, but it seems that originally, the texts were in Japanese and translated into English. Now they want to make some update, and this time, the text is in English to be translated into Japanese...so naturally, I have TM with Japanese as source language and English as target language.

Is it possible to switch source and target languages of TM to be used in Trados 2014? I really need some help her

AnyTM or built-in Jul 2, 2015

You may experiment with AnyTM from the SDL App Store for Studio 2014. As I understand it, this feature is available in Studio 2015 (as a built-in feature).

If you have AnyTM installed, open your new document that is Japanese-English and assign your English-Japanese TM in your Project Settings, AnyTM will ask you if you want to create a reversed TM, meaning Japanese-English.
