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

Select languages
Select a bunch of languages:

tmx2tmx -select=PT,EN,FR huge.tmx > pt-en-fr.tmx
