Auto-cleaning feature
In order to avoid having too many versions of a translation, for a language, saved into the memory, Wezen implemented the auto-cleaning feature, in order to have a cleaner and more efficient translation memory.
Wezen's translations are ranked from the most to the least relevant (We prioritize the latest translation validated at the highest step of the workflow). As for now, we accept only 10 translations for a source segment. It means that when a translation goes into the memory and is more relevant than an existing one, it pushes down the translations and the 11th one is automatically deleted.
Here is an example on how the auto-clean works
In this memory, it already has 10 translations in en-US saved for the source segment in fr-FR. We have an old translation (highlighted in blue) that has the oldest last usage time at the highest step.

Once a new translation entry is being made during the translation process, for example, Wezen will determine if the newest entry is relevant when compared to the rest of existing translations.
If it's relevant and is a completely new entry (i.e this translation version never existed before), Wezen will classify and rank it based on the translation's relevancy, save it into the memory, and remove the least and oldest translation automatically.
Based on the example below, a user validated a new translation, and since it's more relevant, it is saved into the memory, and the least relevant and oldest translation is automatically removed.
