Currently, Translation memories can only be exported as TMX files, but by completing a few extra steps that file can be converted to an XLIFF.
1- Go to the
WorldServer TM you want to convert. Select the button to
Export TM as TMX File... Make sure to export only one language pair at a time.
2- Save the exported TMX file in an easy-to-find location.
3-
Click here, download the Studio File type plug-in for TMX (file name:
Sdl.Community.FileType.TMX.sdlplugin) and install it by double-clicking on it. The installation will be instant.
4- Open
Trados Studio 2021 or 2022. We will now need to configure Studio by going to
File>Options.
5- Go to
File Types in the tree on the left. You will see an alert at the top,
Additional installed File Types exist. Click on the alert.
6- Select the box next to
Translation Memory eXchange and click
OK.
7- Now that Trados Studio is configured, go to
File > Translate Single Document and navigate to the location where your TMX file is saved. Studio will convert the file to a SDLXLIFF file as it does with any source files
8- Complete the previous steps for each TMX file for each language pair.
The TM is now in SDLXLIFF format.
