Swordfish III supports exchanging TMX (Translation Memory eXchange), the vendor-neutral open XML standard for the exchange of Translation Memory (TM) data created by Computer Aided Translation (CAT) and localization tools, originally published by LISA (Localisation Industry Standards Association). Swordfish includes two translation engines: a "traditional" TM (Translation Memory) system that provides matching and Auto-Translation, an exclusive technology that assembles matches from regular TM databases and Terminology databases.
