# 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](/help/translation-memory/importing-tmx.md).

#### 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 `&lt;b&gt;...&lt;/b&gt;`. Cleaning tags can improve matching, but it can also remove important formatting. If you’re unsure, test on a copy first. :::
