Exporting Termbase Files

If you have created a termbase in Lingo, you can export it to a TermBase eXchange (TBX) file. Approved by the Localization Industry Standards Association (LISA) and the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), TBX is an open, XML-based international standard used for exchanging structured terminological data. One difference between a TBX file and a Translation Memory eXchange (TMX) file is that a TBX file handles multiple languages, whereas a TMX file handles only two languages.

How to Export a Termbase

  1. Select Resources > Export Termbase.
  2. From the Termbase to export drop-down, select the termbase you want to export.
  3. Next to the TBX File field, click The browse ellipsis button opens to more options..
  4. Locate an existing TBX file you want to overwrite, or enter a name for a new TBX file.
  5. Click Save.
  6. Click Start Export.

Note Lingo supports TBX-Basic files (not the Full version).
