Exporting TM data
You can export data from your translation memories (TMs) to a *.tmx (Translation Memory Exchange) file. *.tmx files contain translation units (TUs) and their associated fields.
About this task
The export feature allows you to export some or all of the contents of a TM to a *.tmx or *.tmx.gz file. You may want to export in order to:
- Exchange TM data with third-parties or between different players in the translation supply chain who may use different product versions. For example, you may want to export data to a
*.tmxformat that can be used in Trados 2007. - Create a secure backup of you TM data. RWS recommends that you perform weekly exports to back up the data from your TM.
- Repair or re-index TMs.
- Reverse the TM source and target languages.
Data is exported from the TM in the form of a *.tmx or a *. tmx.gz (compressed *.tmx) file. When exporting TM data you are exporting TUs with their associated fields.
