Here is a Keyboard Maestro macro that updates the (first) assigned TM when Cmd+Q is pressed:
You have to assign this macro to Cmd+Q*). Alternatively, you can assign it to Shift+Cmd+Q instead.
*) If you do so, make sure that you place the macro in a macro group that is only available in CafeTran Espresso:

I used a workaround
Feb 27
For reasons unclear to me, I wasn’t able to simulate a click on the first memory listed in the TMs pop-up.

TMs are updated as you go in the workflow

CafeTran does update the translation memories used in the project on the segment basis. Here, the user decides which segments to update "on the fly" going from one segment to the next or previous one. This solution enables the translator to choose which segments should be added to the translation memory, and to discard the ones that might 'pollute' the TM. In other words, it should help to maintain the quality of the TM.

If they wish to update all the project segments at once, they can select this action via the Memory menu. Your macro can do it automatically when CT quits. I guess it might be useful to those who prefer to store ALL the segments in the TM. ▲ Collapse

Since I constantly make changes to the project's target segments, I indeed want to commit all segments to the TM:
