## How to manage TMs
Before synchronizing TMs, you need to create them.

Before you create a TM, you have to do the [Editing field templates](https://docs.rws.com/791595/707105/trados-enterprise---accelerate/editing-field-templates) and [Editing segment fields](https://docs.rws.com/791595/805459/trados-enterprise---accelerate/editing-segment-fields) .

After configuring the required fields, you can [add a TM](https://docs.rws.com/791595/753182/trados-enterprise---accelerate/creating-tms).

TM source languages must match in both Crowdin, and Trados. 

import TMs by language pairs, Source ↔︎ Target. When several Target languages are selected, they will be synchronized one by one.
