# Use or delete translations from TM

# Use translations

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

## Gtranslator fordítási memória panel

## Shortcut

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

## 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.

If you are satisfied with a proposal that Gtranslator found in the TM database, either select the proposal and press Enter, or right click the proposal and select Use this translation from the contextual menu, or press the displayed keyboard shortcut.

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.

# Delete a translation

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

To remove the entire TM, delete the file ~/.config/gtranslator/translation-memory.db while Gtranslator is not running.
