NAME

tmx2tmx - utility to convert and filter TMX files

SYNOPSYS

tmx2tmx -cat file1.tmx ... filen.tmx > file.tmx

tmx2tmx -toTrados file1.tmx > file2.tmx

tmx2tmx -clean file1.tmx > file2.tmx

DESCRIPTION

This utility processes TMX documents and return TMX documents. Tasks done with this utility include conversion between TMX versions and TMX cleaning.

TRADOS conversion

As you maybe know, TRADOS is a company producing computer software for translators. It includes WorkBench which imports TMX files. Unfortunately, the version I used do not import TMX version 1.4.

This process is done using the switch -toTrados:

tmx2tmx -toTrados file.tmx > trados.tmx

TMX Cleaning

Specially when translation memories are created from anotated text, or extracted directly from the Internet using any automatic method. This switch is used to remove junk in translation units.

This option tries to remove junk from TMX files, like empty pairs where one of the sides is empty, or removing other junk type.

Use it this way:

tmx2tmx -clean file.tmx > file2.tmx

Concatenating TMX

tmx2tmx -cat file1.tmx ... filen.tmx > file.tmx
ls | grep '.tmx$' | tmx2tmx -cat > file.tmx
