# Use or delete translations from TM

When Gtranslator finds string(s) in the TM that partially o completely match the one that you have selected in the Message Table, it displays them in the Translation Memory panel.

To be able to view the Translation Memory panel, you need to activate the Translation Memory plugin: click the Gtranslator app menu in the top bar, select Preferences Plugins tab, and activate the TM plugin check box.

# Gtranslator TM panel

# Level

Indicates the percentage of the match (correspondence between the original/source string in the Message Table and those found in the TM.

# String

Translated string in the target language as it appears in the TM.

# Shortcut

Use the keyboard shortcut to insert the translated string that most closely matches the selected string in the Message Table.

If you are satisfied with the match that Gtranslator found in the TM database, right-click it and select Use this translation from the contextual menu.

Once you have inserted the translation from the TM, you can further edit it in the Translated Text field to match your original string.

If there are no matches in the TM for the string in the selected Original Message, you have to translate it manually in the Translated Text field. The newly translated strings are stored in the TM database and can be used for future translations, as well as repetitions of the string in the current PO file.

To delete a specific match from the Translation Memory panel, right-click it and select Remove from the contextual menu.
