Hello colleagues,
I´ve started a project using Trados Studio 2017 yesterday (and created a new TM); and I've just realized the customer asked me to work always with an Anonymous user (for example: User_1234) for Studio TM.
Is there any possibility to edit this in the TM properties with which I am already working?
(I has my name)
Or what should I do?
Thanks a lot for your help!

Export to TMX Feb 14, 2022

You can export your TM to a tmx file, open it with Notepad and autoreplace all instances of "YourID" with "User_1234".* Then create a blank TM and import that tmx as edited.

*If you have a long and unique ID, you may omit the quotation marks. However, if you have a short ID, make sure to include the quotation marks. For example, my ID is SK. If I autoreplace SK everywhere, it may change disk to diUser_1234. To prevent that, use quotation marks.

I don´t know if it will work with your 2017, but I did the following: click 2x on your name that appears on the bottom of the screen and edit your Username. The only problem is that it will not be changed on the segments already translated.

TOPIC STARTER
I was afraid of doing something wrong Feb 16, 2022

Hello, thanks a lot for your replies, but I am not very good at technical issues. I supposed this could be modified more easily... and I was not able to change user following your recommendations. I also tried to create a new TM, but I was not able to create it with another user name (it always appears mine). I fear I could lost or alter my Trados package if I modify anything at this stage, and I have a delivery tomorrow.
Have a nice day!
