Exporting entire translation memories

Even when you export entire TMs, you can still apply attribute filters to refine the entries included in the exported TM.

About this task

The export log indicates the number of TM matches processed for each export. Applying an attribute filter that excludes some (or even all) entries does not change the number of processed matches, but it does affect the number of exported matches. Therefore, if you apply a filter, the number of entries included in an exported TM may not match the number of processed TM matches displayed in the export log.

Procedure

  1. In WorldServer, go to Tools > Translation Memories.
  2. Select the translation memory that you want to export.
  3. On the Translation Memory: <name> page, select Export TM as TMX File.
  4. In the Export TMX Entries from TM Database <name> dialog box, in the File Encoding list, select the appropriate encoding for the exported entries.
  5. Optional: Select the Apply Filter check box to create or choose an attribute filter that you want to apply.
  6. Select Export.
  7. Save the exported file to your computer.
  8. In the Export TMX Entries from TM Database <name> dialog box, select OK.
