FAQ & SUPPORT

Frequently Asked Questions
…and answers concerning TMX Assistant.

Will TMX Assistant be useful for me?

If you work with translation memories (you're a translator or a software engineer, for example), you may need to quickly search projects containing many TMX files, make global changes in translation memories (changes in terminology) or check certain additional data placed in TMX files, such as path names or project names. With TMX Assistant those tasks are easy and fast.

TMX Assistant won't be useful for you, if you don't use translation memories or work with just one huge TM file; TMX Assistant is optimized to work with projects containing many smaller TMX files and does not support single huge translation memories.

Is TMX Assistant a translation application?

TMX Assistant is not a translation application. It is a supplementary tool that makes it easy to search and edit translation memories created by the CAT application you use or provided to you as a reference material.

How can I export a TMX file with translation memory from the application I use for translating?

If you're using SDL Trados 2009 or later, find your translation memory in TM folder inside your project folder. Remember to update it first (click your project in Trados with the right mouse button and choose Batch Tasks > Update Translation Memories). Open the translation memory, right-click it on the list and choose Export from the contextual menu.

If you're using SDL Trados 2007, open your translation memory (tmw file) in Translator Workbench (TW4Win). Choose File > Export and click OK. Remeber to update it first by right-clicking your project files and choosing Update TM.

If you're using AppleTrans, click the corpus window and then choose File > Save As. Select "TMX Format" from the File Format pop-up menu. Click Save.

If you're using STAR Transit, open your project and choose Project > TMX Export, choose TMX Export file and then click Start export.

If you're using OmegaT, choose Project > Create Target Documents. You'll find your TMX files inside your project folder.

If you're using a different CAT tool, check its documentation.

What is the data displayed in the Inspector window?

Some translation memories may contain notes or additional data for each translation unit. For example, if you're working with complex software projects, the translation memories you have access to might have project versions and path names embedded. In other cases there might be document names included. TMX Assistant makes it easy to view those data.
