A Translation Memory editor helps you maintain accurate and high-quality translations by letting you search, edit, add, or delete TM entries, manage alternative translations, and keep your database clean and up to date. To open the TM Editor:
- Go to Localization settings → Translation memory, click on a TM database and switch to the TM Editor tab.
- Select the source and target language pairs you want to view terms for.
Add new TM term
Click Add new translation unit, enter the terms in the source and target languages, then click Add.
Edit a TM term
-
Edit the TM : Click
to edit this alternative. Once done, click Save. -
Add alternative segment: Click
to add alternative translations for this string. Once done, click Save. -
Use as default translation: Click
to use this translation as the default translation. If you auto-populate the TM texts, this will be prioritized to be inserted into the translation cells. -
Delete translation: Click
to delete this translation, then select Delete to confirm deletion. This is only available if you have two translation alternatives or more.
Manage auto-translated terms in Translation memory
The auto-translated texts can be saved in the Translation memory when you approve them. To approve, click Approve machine translated texts. This applies to translations generated by machine translation providers (Google Translate, Amazon Translate) and OpenAI.
You can identify which strings in your translation memory come from machine translation in the Translation Memory editor:
- Open the TM editor, click
to enable filters, then select Machine translation
- In the drop-down menu, choose the matching ratio - the editing distance between the original machine-translated and post-edited texts.
- To remove the filter, click
