Translation Memory Analysis & Cleaning
We pair modern LLM tooling with more than a decade in the localization industry to help you understand what is in your TM and clean it up with confidence. A localization project manager works with you directly, from your goals to the changes you approve.
Estimate your cleanup
Count the words in both source and translated entries across the TM files you want cleaned. We confirm the word count from your exports.
TM Report & Clean
Understand your TM, then clean it with confidence.
Our own tooling and modern LLMs, guided by 10+ years in localization.
Find the structural and content problems that make your TM harder to trust, and let us handle the approved cleanup.
- Entry counts and word counts by declared language.
- Exact duplicates and sources with competing translations.
- Missing, extra, or incompatible placeholders and markup differences.
- Whitespace issues and Unicode characters that look alike but differ.
- Search and replace for specific phrases, like retired product names or outdated terminology.
- Language detection to flag likely mislabeled content.
- Flags for sentence fragments and content that appears cut off.
- Style comparison to find translations that drift from the voice of the rest of your TM.
- Term Base checks for do-not-translate terms, like brand and product names, that were translated anyway.

Every cleanup is managed for you
One of our localization project managers works with you directly to set goals, review findings, and agree on every change before it is made.
Need a different volume or regular upkeep? We can scope that with you.
How it works
Every cleanup follows the same managed process, led by one of our localization project managers.
-
Upload and share your goals
Upload your TMX export through a secure link. Your project manager then schedules a call to learn what you want from your TM and any terms or phrases to target.
-
Review the findings together
We run the analysis and walk you through the report on a call. You decide what changes, and anything unexpected is flagged and quoted before work starts.
-
Get your cleaned TM back
Receive a cleaned TM ready to import, a change log, and a list of unresolved issues. Your original export is preserved.
Turnaround
1–2 weeks
From upload to cleaned TM, depending on how quickly your team can review findings.

TMX in, your format out
Send a TMX export from any TMS. We return the cleaned TM as TMX or the format your tools need.

Why OnPurpose Studio
We have spent more than ten years inside localization programs, building translation software at large companies, working alongside translation providers, and consulting for localization teams. We know which TM problems are worth fixing and which entries need your team's judgment.
We build and run our own tooling, and modern LLMs let us apply that experience across millions of entries. Every cleanup is managed by one of our localization project managers, and when you want to keep your TM in shape, we offer quarterly or twice-yearly upkeep.
