Hi Sophie, I searched one more time but my findings were the same as before:
* Weblate’s automatically filled TM is separated into scopes: personal, per-project, and shared. * I can manage my personal TM by downloading, uploading, and deleting TM files. Individual strings cannot be edited or deleted, so the most practical way to clean up the TM is to delete everything Weblate has collected and upload a TMX file generated from the latest translations. * I cannot change project-level TM though. I can only download JSON/TMX files from it. Also, I seem to have no direct access to the shared scope at all. Apparently, while translating, each new entry is added separately to each scope, so to remove the obsolete entries one has to be able to change the TM data in all scopes. There is a permission called 'Managing translation memories' which may or may not help. Judging by the name, it may allow deleting and uploading per-project and shared TMs. OTOH, if there is no way to restrict access only to the respective team's language, the server admins may be reluctant to give it to just any l10n team member. :) A workaround that comes to mind is to have some automated way to reset TMs (all scopes) at the server side so that a language team may request resetting the entire TM for that language without causing too much manual work on the part of the server maintainer. I assume it is currently possible (but maybe non-trivial) to purge the entire TM for a language and regenerate it from the existing translations at the backend because I have some dim recollection of someone requesting such a thing on this list. Cheers, Mihail PS Unfortunately, the Weblate feature request about highlighting differences in fuzzy matches remains in the 'help wanted' status since September 2020.
