How to make translation memory changes with TM Editor

Smartcat's Translation Memory Editor is where you can make changes to the contents of your translation memories (TM).

It enables you to make changes to your TMs from one single place, carry out changes to translations, or even delete translation units entirely.

How to use TM Editor

Follow these steps to use TM Editor.

Step 1
Access TM Editor via the Linguistic assets module

Step 2

Choose TM Editor from the drop-down menu
 

Step 3
Then type your source and target languages for your TM in question, input a word or phrase that you want to find, and click Browse results.

In this example, the target term to find is “translation projects” and the language pair is English into Spanish.

Instances of the matching search term – whether it appears in the source or target language segments – will then appear on screen.

Step 4
Edit each segment that you wish to make changes to by clicking on it and then clicking on the edit icon on the top-right corner of the segment.

Once you make your change, click again on the edit icon to save it.

Step 5 (optional)
Remove a translation by clicking Remove translation underneath the meta data section to the right of the source-target language editing segments.

You might want to remove a translation completely in cases where inaccurate language data is stored in your TM.
