Basically, as far as you have a TMX you can use it with any CAT Tool available in the market. I work with translators that work with Trados, OmegaT, Wordfast, etc. We exchange the TM using TMX format, previously cleaning that TMX unsing Olifant.
You can always encounter problems with segmentation rules.

Hi Vizconde, I try to follow you, but what is "Ofilant"....

So, let´s say a translator works in Wordfast, but you need to edit it in Trados, then, you use this "TM editor" so that you get a memory compatible with both Translation Software...

Guys, what you say? am I going right?

In a nutshell, that is what Olifant allows you to do among other things if you use it as a part of the Okapi Framework.

But not only dat, Olifant allows you to delete, modify segments, remove codes (tags) for Level 1 TMX, etc.
