GET
Retrieve a translation memory
This returns the translation memory’s metadata, not its contents. To read the stored segments, use List translation memory segments. A translation memory that belongs to another account returns 404 Not Found rather than 403 Forbidden, so a 404 does not confirm that the ID is unused.
