New product: Tumatxa
Memories stored at Tumatxa can be consulted (to clear terminology doubts, for instance) without specific TM software, just making online searches. Several memories can be packed to download as a file, also.
Check the website to download the product, and try the demos.

When you install the product, any instance of Tumatxa that you create on your Zope installation is a full website in itself.
What are translation memories?
Translation Memory or TM is a technology widely used in professional translation and localization (unlike machine translation). The idea is simple, units or sentences from the original text and its translation are stored aligned into a database. When the system happens to find the same sentence (or a similar one), it would propose the previous translation.
These are some of the most popular TM software programmes: Trados, Déjàvu, Wordfast, Transit, edo Translat. The standard for memory exchange among those applications is called TMX. Tumatxa handles TMX, and also the .po files of GNU Gettext.
