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

  • Open, edit, and save TMX files.

  • Search and filter by source/target text.

  • Edit TMX header metadata.

  • Run basic validation and view statistics.

  • Perform bulk operations (for example: delete entries, copy source → target).

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.

:::note TMX is just XML – some tags are real inline markup (TMX/XLIFF-style), others are literal text like <b>...</b>. Cleaning tags can improve matching, but it can also remove important formatting. If you’re unsure, test on a copy first. :::
