TMX Editor

Supervertaler includes a built-in TMX editor for inspecting and editing TMX translation memories.

Where to find it

  • Open the Tools menu at the top of the window → ✏️ TMX Editor…. The editor opens in its own window.

What you can do

  • Create, open, edit, and save TMX files (📁 New, 📂 Open, 💾 Save, 💾 Save As…).
  • Add and delete translation units (➕ Add TU, ❌ Delete).
  • Search and filter by source/target text.
  • Edit TMX header metadata (ℹ️ Header).
  • Run basic validation (✓ Validate) and view statistics (📊 Stats).
  • Strip tags from every translation unit at once (🧹 Clean Tags).

Common workflows

Clean up a TMX before importing

  1. Open the TMX in ✏️ TMX Editor.
  2. Fix any obvious formatting issues (wrong language, empty segments, etc.).
  3. Save the TMX.
  4. Import it into your project via Importing TMX files.

Remove unwanted tags

If you’re trying to simplify a TMX that contains formatting or CAT-tool tags, you can remove them before importing:

  1. Click 🧹 Clean Tags.
  2. Tick the kinds of tag to remove – or use Select All, Select None or Select Formatting Only.
  3. Choose whether tags are removed completely or replaced with a space, and whether to clean the source, the target or both.
  4. 👁️ Preview summarises your choices; 🧹 Clean Tags applies them to all translation units.
  5. Save the TMX.
