Apertium can use a translation memory (TMX file) to override the default translations by using the -m (and -o) command line argument:
-m memory.tmx use a translation memory to recycle translations
-o direction translation direction using the translation memory,
by default 'direction' is used instead
Example TMX:
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>
<!DOCTYPE tmx SYSTEM "tmx14.dtd">
<tmx version="1.4">
<header creationtool="Translate Toolkit - po2tmx" creationtoolversion="1.9.0"
segtype="sentence" o-tmf="UTF-8" adminlang="en" srclang="en" datatype="PlainText"/>
<body>
<tu>
<tuv xml:lang="en">
<seg>Welcome to Wikipedia</seg>
</tuv>
<tuv xml:lang="ca">
<seg>Benvinguts a la Viquipèdia</seg>

</tuv>
<tuv xml:lang="ca">
<seg>L'Enciclopèdia Lliure</seg>
</tuv>
</tu>
</body>
</tmx>
If you've saved that as en-ca.tmx, entries there will override the suggestions from apertium. Let's try with and without the tmx:
$ echo Welcome to Wikipedia. Hello|apertium en-ca Benvingut a Viquipèdia. Hola $ echo Welcome to Wikipedia. Hello|apertium en-ca -m en-ca.tmx Benvinguts a la Viquipèdia. Hola
