.tmx

Translation memories exchanged between CAT tools: source and target segments side by side.

Loper is a free, minimal editor for macOS that opens Translation memory (.tmx) instantly and colors every part of the file, so you find the value you need at a glance and can fix it right there. No IDE, no project to load, no gray wall of text.
