When I add a TM to a project, I see in the window a section for adding the TM. Is there any way to add, for example, a TM with US English to a project with British English, even if just for look-up purposes?

I thought I remembered reading somewhere that this was possible but I have been unable to find how.

Thanks for any help
Eileen

Yes, you can do this adding your TM as AnyTM.

Nora is correct, though perhaps a bit too brief. AnyTM is one of the free add-ins you can get from SDL Open Exchange. It will allow you to do precisely what you need.

Studio version May 21, 2017

I use this feature so much, I'd forgotten it was once an app! : ) As Ricardo has mentioned, if you have Studio 2014 you will need to download the app called "SDL Trados Studio AnyTM Translation Provider".

The feature has been built into the program since Studio 2015, so if you have Studio 2015 or 2017, there's nothing to download or install, you simply need to choose AnyTM from the list of translation providers (where you add your TMs).
