 * Translation Memory systems are often configured to allow multiple, coexisting translations from the same source, and translators freely use this option. After some time, it is hard to find any modules in the CCMS where all text segments have unambiguous matches in the TM. Thus, automatic translation from the TM can rarely be applied, causing significant extra cost. Offline ambiguity checks in a TM can identify and clean up those duplicates.
 * During [wiki:Public/StartPageMigration migration], it makes sense to check source data first whether it fulfills some minimal requirements to reasonably transform them to a new data model. Modules containing significant structural faults are not transformed but rather assigned to an author for manual transformation.

+== What we can do for you
+Any rule-based checking (manual or automatic, online or offline) requires a set of rules to check against. Applicable rules are often layed down in authoring guidelines or in graphics style guides. Thus, if you don't have any such rules, we should first work out a reasonable set of rules together with you.
+
+Not all of such guideline rules are candidates for automatic checking, but many are. Some checks require specialized software products like terminology databases. We can help you finding the checks that make sense and design the processes making optimal use of them.
+
+The example of translation memory cleanup described above can be handled with **TMQE** (**T**ranslation **M**emory **Q**uality **E**ditor), a software tool developed by [https://www.texolution.eu texolution] and [https://www.reinisch.de reinisch]. Using the tool, we can efficiently clean up your TMs or enable you to do so yourself.
