CafeTran offers two different ways for storing the segments (sentences, table cells, headings etc.) that you translate:
- TMX files
- External databases
The quick and easy way to store your segments (often called Translation Units or TUs) are TMX files. These TMX files are created very easily when you start a new translation project (or even during a project).
Only when you work with very large collections of segments (TUs), consisting of several millions of segments, you can use external databases in order to save RAM.
