Translation memory cleaner for Phrase (Memsource)

Phrase (formerly Memsource) makes it easy to accumulate large cloud TMs shared across many linguists. That scale is exactly what breeds duplicate variants and machine-pretranslated noise. Export to TMX and clean it here.

━━ the problem

shared cloud TMs fragment into many variants

With dozens of linguists writing to one Phrase TM, the same source ends up with a dozen slightly different targets. Consensus (most-popular) or a trusted-reviewer ranking picks a single authoritative variant per segment.

pretranslate + MTQE inflate the TM with MT units

Phrase's pretranslation and MTQE steps write machine-origin units into the TM. For a clean human-quality TM — or MT training data — those need to go. Filter by creationid/changeid origin signature.

non-translatables count against your analysis

URLs, numbers, tags and placeholders counted as 'words' inflate your Phrase analysis and leverage reports without producing any real match value. Strip them as structural junk.

━━ frequently asked

is Phrase the same as Memsource?+

yes — Memsource rebranded to Phrase. TMX exports from either import and clean here identically.

can I keep only one reviewer's translations?+

yes. the author filter (by changeid) lets you keep only chosen contributors, or exclude specific ones. combine with a date range to isolate, say, this year's reviewed segments.

how big a TM can I clean?+

up to 2 GB per file. the engine streams the file so memory stays bounded even on very large cloud-TM exports.
