.. versionadded:: 2.20
Weblate comes with a built-in translation memory.
The translation memory consists of following content:
- Manually imported translation memory (see :ref:`memory-user`).
- Automatically stored translations performed in Weblate (depending on :ref:`memory-scopes`).
The translation memory can be used to get matches:
- In the :ref:`machine-translation` view while translating.
- Automatically translate strings using :ref:`auto-translation`.
For installation tips, see :ref:`weblate-translation-memory`, however this service is enabled by default.
.. versionadded:: 3.2 The different translation memory scopes are available since Weblate 3.2, prior to this release translation memory could be only loaded from file corresponding to the current imported translation memory scope.
The translation memory scopes are there to allow both privacy and sharing of translations, depending on the actual desired behavior.
You can import arbitrary translation memory data using :djadmin:`import_memory` command. The memory content will be available for all users and projects.
All user translations are automatically stored in personal translation memory. This memory is available only for this user.
All translations within a project are automatically stored in a project translation memory. This memory is available only for this project.
All translation within projects which have enabled shared translation memory are stored in shared translation memory. This shared memory is available for all projects then.
Please consider carefully when enabling this feature on shared Weblate installations as this might have severe implications:
- The translations can be used by anybody else.
- This might lead to disclosing secret information.
.. versionadded:: 3.2
There is basic user interface to manage per user and per project translation memories. It can be used to download, wipe or import it.
The downloads in JSON are useful for Weblate, TMX is provided for interoperability with other tools.
There are several management commands to manipulate with the translation memory content, these operate on memory as whole not filtered by scopes (unless requested by parameters):
- :djadmin:`dump_memory`
- Exporting the memory into JSON
- :djadmin:`import_memory`
- Importing TMX or JSON files into the memory
- :djadmin:`list_memory`
- Listing memory content
- :djadmin:`delete_memory`
- Deleting content from the memory
