A lot of TMX cleaning/maintenance can be done right in CafeTran, in TMX editing mode.
In the CafeTran Dashboard, from the Project options and settings (the "hamburger") icon, select
Project type > Edit translation memory
Click: New Select the relevant TMX on yr computer, which will call up the TMX memory settings dialogue Click: "Filter" In the "Memory Filter" dialogue, select any TMX cleaning options you might need:
> When you open a TMX, and click on ‘Filter’, what exactly do these do: > > (1) ‘Clean and replace foreign codes’
Some TMX files from third party tools have unusual codes in the segments such as codes inside the curly brackets or emdash, endash, tab code. CafeTran clears or replaces them with equivalent unicode characters. ****************************
I also know that this can help you clean/fix a broken TMX that won't open in e.g. the Heartsome TMX editor, or other TMX editors because of "illegal characters". Just clean the file in CT and it will open fine.
