Introduction to the TM Lookup Tool

This sample project provides a step-by-step guide for building a custom application that performs common translation memory lookup operations.

Searching a TM database is one of the most common uses of the Translation Memory API. For example, you might integrate TM lookup functionality into a third-party application so users can run concordance searches against a TM from a web-based CMS.

The C# application you build in this sample should let users do the following:

• Select a TM, either file-based or server-based.
• Perform concordance searches that return matching TUs together with additional information such as fields and the creation date.
• Perform concordance searches in the source or target language.

This simplified sample shows how to implement TM search functionality in other applications, such as integrating TM lookup features into a third-party application or designing a custom TM lookup user interface.
