Edit TM entries

You can search, review, and correct individual entries in your Translation Memory. This is useful when you notice a mistranslation being suggested repeatedly, or when brand terminology has changed.

Prerequisites​

A Translation Memory already exists with at least one entry.

Browse and search entries​

  1. In the sidebar, click Translation Memory and open the TM you want to edit.
  2. The TM detail page shows all translation units (segment pairs).
  3. Use the search bar to find a specific source or target text.
  4. Use the language filter to narrow entries to a specific target language.
  5. Use the source filter to see entries by edit type (AI, human, imported).

Edit a single entry​

  1. Find the entry you want to change and click its row. A Segment Details panel slides out from the right.
  2. Source and target text show read-only at first — click the Edit (pencil) button next to the field you want to change.
  3. Modify the text in the field that appears.
  4. Click Save Changes.

note

Editing source text changes what the TM matches against in future projects. Only do this if the source has genuinely changed.

Delete an entry​

  1. Open the entry's Segment Details panel (click its row).
  2. Click Delete Segment.
  3. Confirm in the Delete Segment? dialog.

Deletion is permanent. To recover deleted entries, re-import a TMX backup (see Export the whole TM).

Export the whole TM​

  1. Open the translation memory.
  2. Click the ⋮ (more actions) menu in the top-right corner and select Export TMX.
  3. Taia prepares the file and shows its progress in a notification. When it's done, the TMX file downloads automatically.

The export always covers the entire TM, every language pair and every entry. You can't export a selection or a single language pair. Export TMX is greyed out while the TM is empty.

tip

Export a TMX before deleting entries you might want back. Re-importing that file is the only way to restore them.

Bulk changes​

Entries are edited and deleted one at a time. There's no way to select several entries and delete them together.

To start over with a TM, delete the whole translation memory from the same ⋮ menu (Delete translation memory) and create a new one.
