Export: Exports the contents of the translation memory into a TMX file. A Save As window opens. From here, memoQ exports the filtered entries only, not all of them.

Properties: Opens the Translation memory properties window. You can change the descriptive details, lookup settings, and the custom fields of the selected translation memory.

Save Changes: Saves your changes to the translation memory. Do not forget this, especially after you change a lot of entries.

New: Adds a new entry to the translation memory. You can simply type or paste the source text and the translation.

Delete: Marks the selected entry for deletion. They will be deleted when you save the changes to the translation memory.

Replace Metadata: Finds and replaces descriptive detail. For example, you have misspelled the name of your client, you can correct them. First, you need to filter the translation memory using Filter/Sort. Then select all segments. On the right, under Entry properties edit the box you need to, then click Replace Metadata. The changes will be saved when you click Save Changes.

Flag: Marks an entry with a flag, so that you can return to it later. A flag icon appears.

Flag All: Flags all entries in the translation memory. If you filtered the translation memory before editing it, this will mark the filtered entries only.

Jump To Next Flagged: Jumps to the next entry that was flagged previously.

Selected Tags: Removes certain tags from the selected segments. Opens the Remove selected tag window. Type the name of the tag to remove, then click OK.

Remove Duplicates: Finds the duplicate entries in the translation memory, and allows you to merge or remove them. Opens the Filter for duplicates window. After the duplicates are displayed, use the icons on the Duplicates section to work on them. To learn more: See Help about the translation memory editor.

Filter: Filters and sorts the translation memory for various criteria. Opens the Filtering and sorting window.

This section appears only when you are filtering the duplicate entries in the translation memory. You can merge or delete them, or leave them as they are.
