Swordfish is an advanced CAT (Computer Aided Translation) tool based on
open standards, designed for demanding professional translators.
Swordfish 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 supports the most common formats used for exchanging translations:

Complete Segment Filtering
Swordfish lets translators hide/show segments filtering on multiple status options, like: is
translatable, has translation, has comments, is approved, etc.
Comfortable Proofreading

comfortably in the system's default web browser.
