Feature suggestion: Option for user to run de-duplication over a TM

Michael Bauer

There currently seems to be no easy way of removing duplicates i.e. items in the TM where the same Source is matched with the same Target more than once. This can, over time, make the suggestion pane quite unwieldy and you end up manually deleting items from the suggestion pane, which is not efficient.

  • Hi Michael,

    The last time this problem occurred on a large scale was a few versions ago but back then I found a workaround.

    Export the whole memory to tmx.
    Create a new memory based on the old memory so you don't lose any custom settings.
    Without changing any import settings, import the tmx into that memory.
    The incoming segments used to overwrite their own duplicates.

    I'm not sure how the new memory import settings changes of more recent versions would affect this as the default has changed.
    It's something I've been intending to experiment with but have been working flat out for so long I just haven't had the time.

    Has anyone else worked on this?

    All the best,
    Ali
