You are currently working on UAT
Since TM size is growing, we have to split them (I generally try to keep them under 1 Gb), it would be useful to have a tool for serching dupilcate segments across multiple TM. Does anybody know if such tool is already available as SDL app?
As far as I am aware, there is no such tool on the AppStore...
However, if I wished to work on a large TM to search for duplicates, I would export it to TMX then open it in Olifant.
You can read about Olifant here: Olifant Help
You can download the Olifant Release 22 (v3.0.8) - Okapi Translation Memory Editor here:
I haven't used Olifant for a long while. I stopped using it because it removed clients' customised Field Values when saving back to TMX to re-import to a Studio TM.
However, I remember a discussion at that time with an Olifant developer about improving this so it may no longer be a problem.
I also do not know if Olifant can work on multiple TMs at once. My way around this would be to export all TMs to TMX then import them into a single TM, then export that to TMX and open it in Olifant.
Olifant was a great tool then so I am sure it is even better now.
All the best,
Alison
Are you sure you have the most recent version of Olifant?
I'm sure I've heard of other users working successfully with it in Windows 10.
I did mention it to the developer that it would be good if Olifant was available on the AppStore and he seemed interested but that was years ago...
All the best,

Hi again Luca Giorgio Bochese
The only SDL AppStore tool I know of that handles TM duplicates is the following:
SDL Translation Memory Management Utility
With that, you can eliminate all duplicates but (as far as I know) only within one TM at a time and I don't think you have any control over which one remains (if the target translations are different).
My preferred method of eliminating duplicates (from when I used to be in charge of TM maintenance for a previous employer) was to just export the TM to TMX then to reimport it into a new TM based on the original one (to keep any customised settings). The duplicates automatically overwrite themselves through that process until there is only one that remains. The reason for this was, as far as I recall, it is the one with the most recent 'last used on' date that remains so hopefully the best translation...
Otherwise, I know of no way to help you work on duplicates in several TMs at once in SDL Trados Studio 2019.
Sorry!
All the best,
Ali
