  <title>Use or delete translations from TM</title>

  <p>When <app>Gtranslator</app> finds string(s) in the TM that partially o completely match the one that you have selected in the <gui>Message Table</gui>, it displays them in the <gui>Translation Memory</gui> panel.</p>
  
<note style="warning">
  <p>To be able to view the <gui>Translation Memory</gui> panel, you need to activate the <em style="strong">Translation Memory plugin</em>: click the <gui>Gtranslator</gui> app menu in the top bar, select <guiseq><gui>Preferences</gui><gui>Plugins</gui></guiseq> tab, and activate the TM plugin check box.</p>
</note>

<terms>
  <item><title>Level</title> <p>Indicates the percentage of the match (correspondence between the original/source string in the <gui>Message Table</gui> and those found in the TM.</p></item>
  <item><title>String</title> <p>Translated string in the target language as it appears in the TM.</p></item>
  <item><title>Shortcut</title> <p>Use the keyboard shortcut to insert the translated string that most closely matches the selected string in the <gui>Message Table</gui>.</p></item>
</terms>

<p>If you are satisfied with the match that <app>Gtranslator</app> found in the TM database, <em style="strong">right-click it</em> and select <gui>Use this translation</gui> from the contextual menu.</p>

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

<p>If there are no matches in the TM for the string in the selected <gui>Original Message</gui>, you have to translate it manually in the <gui>Translated Text</gui> 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.</p>

<p>To delete a specific match from the <gui>Translation Memory</gui> panel, <em style="strong">right-click it</em> and select <gui>Remove</gui> from the contextual menu.</p>
