TMX Migration

Often legacy TM data can be exported from third-party tools into a format that is supported by WorldServer. Currently, WorldServer only supports the importing of TM data from TMX files. Provided the data is available in this format, WorldServer can import the data and make it available for leveraging within the WorldServer environment.

TM migration is most effective when TMX files are the source of the migrated data. However, simply having the data available in a TMX format does not ensure the highest level of leveragability once the data is imported into the WorldServer environment. While the LISA TMX specifications define the structure of the TMX files, and the expected usage of the supported XML tags, several issues affect WorldServer’s ability to optimally leverage the imported data. Among these issues are the following:
  • WorldServer TMX compliance – WorldServer is currently TMX Level 1 compliant
  • Third-Party Compliance Level – TRADOS, while providing TMX export capabilities, is not TMX certified
