Olifant is a free TM Editor that makes up for the shortcomings of CAT programs (e.g. OmegaT) which provide either a very basic and hence inadequate memory-editing facility or none at all.
As a TM Editor, Olifant allows you to load or import translation memories in different formats (such as TMX or tab-delimited). You can edit the translation units, their attributes, and other associated data. And, of course, Olifant allows you to save or export your data in various formats.
The tool provides a table-driven interface to easily navigate through the translation memory. It offers functions such as flagging duplicates, searching and replacing text using regular expressions, filtering the entries based on various criteria, merging other TMs into an existing one, exporting part of the TM, and many other utilities.

Why do you need a TM Editor?
It’s a valid question. Most CAT tools save your translations automatically and let you delete entries. However, the features are often limited to the segment you are currently working on and the related fuzzy matches. But imagine that you come across a term that you used incorrectly throughout your TM, and you need to either remove all those entries or, more likely, modify all those translations. This kind of cleanup is often very difficult to do with the limited TM editor of your CAT tool. In this case, Olifant can be of great help.
Note: Unfortunately, the development of Olifant has been stopped. But it is still working. We will look out for a replacement and post it if we can find one.
