Separate TMs for Simplified and Traditional Chinese?

Hello,
Does everyone else here use separate TMs for simplified and traditional Chinese?
When I first started translating I created two separate TMs and have used them ever since. I don't think there is a way to combine them due to the differences with the script.
Does anyone work with just a single TM for both simplified and traditional? I can't see how it would work.
Thanks,
Mark

Hi,
I, like you, use two sets of TMs for Simplified and Traditional for my Déjà Vu X3, which I think is happy with two sets rather than one in term of operation and perhaps original design.
Another reason is that I think it's easier for me to use them. When I translate Simpllfied I just use the Simplified TM and when Traditional I use the Traditional TM. Like 0 and 1 really.
I have done Oral Cantonese audio/video transcripts recently, hence I've opened the third TM for my easy access even though Cantonese is also Traditional.
To be honest, I did worry a bit whether the CAT system would be confused if I mixed Simplified and Traditional into one, hence I did not combine them.
Not sure this makes sense. What CAT tool do you use?
