Application(s) for Translation Memory QA/Cleaning

Hello,

We are about to embark in a major TM QA/Cleaning project. It would be very useful if there’s an application that would identify inconsistencies ─not only when the source language is exactly the same but also when the differences in the source language are relatively minor.

Besides Trados Studio itself (or, for instance, Heartsome), would you have any other recommendation on the application(s) to use?

Thank you in advance.

Gilberto

    whatever you try, remember one thing

    you are dealing with BIG animal(s)
    so, speed matters, really matters
    to catch up speed properly you have to handle it within its original tech - "SQLite",
    not via extra export/import tedious time consuming steps
    (for larger TMs, it usually takes hours and hours just import/export  while doing nothing useful). 
    (recently, SDL made its TM size 3 times larger without any kind of evidence that its performance goes up 3 times, pity)

    and, if you use "export/import" route, you have to remember one more thing
    in the middle of that "converting" you could lose important information implicitly, that is very dangerous. 
    -SDL's people say lots of times "Oh, that TM is corrupted" means.. that TM is garbage. That is not you wanted, I guess.
