Converting a TMX file to a tab delimited txt: Always save your txt files in UTF-8 encoding with File/Save as, not in whatever encoding your text editor happens to use by default (which is usually not UTF-8).ġ. Xbench is a powerful and versatile Windows-only tool that can handle many TM and termbase file formats, including TMX, Trados txt memories, TBX glossaries, MultiTerm XML files, TagEditor and SDLX files, Wordfast memories and glossaries etc.
#TMX XBENCH INSTALL#
To open a file in Xbench, install and launch Xbench, available from It can export all of them into tab delimited txt. Then click Project/Properties/Add./pick your filetype/Next/pick your file/Open/Next/OK/OK. To export, click Tools/Export items/All items in glossary, Format: Tabbed text file, pick file name). In my experience, very large files leave Xbench stumped it will work with files containing 300,000 segments, but not with files containing 1,000,000 segments. Of course, when it comes to TMX->tabbed txt, I can't think of any other tool that does much more than Xbench, either.ġ b) With a command line tool ("TMX to tabbed") It also tends to ignore everything apart from the text in two languages if you need metadata (creation date, creation ID, notes) or data in more than two languages to be conserved, Xbench won't be much help. I wrote a tool that does TMX to tabbed txt conversions on TMX files of any size in any OS. I'd recommend it if you don't have convenient access to a Windows box, or for files that are too large for tools like Xbench.
