The Concept

It is the first-of-a-kind translation memory editing tool that is truly cross-lingual, truly cross-directional, and truly cross-platform. This is a provision of exceptional versatilities, total and complete compliance in every aspect of the Translation Memory eXchange (TMX), Segmentation Rules eXchange (SRX) and TermBase eXchange (TBX) standard maintained by the Localisation Industry Standards Association (LISA).

This is a tool designed to provide translation practitioners with a long sought after tool to maintain translation memory in their collection or to build a fresh translation memory database from legacy files. Also, it is suitable for supporting lightweight terminology database maintenance.
