Exporting TMX Files

When you have finished translating content in Lingo, you can export a Translation Memory eXchange (TMX) file. After exporting a TMX file, it can be used in other tools such as Trados and memoQ.

how to export tmx files

Do one of the following, depending on the part of the user interface you are using:
- Ribbon Select the Resources ribbon. In the TMX section select Export to TMX.
  Switching between ribbons and the tool strip… You can use the Options dialog to switch between ribbons and the classic tool strip layout. See Switching Between Ribbons and the Tool Strip.
  More about ribbon options… Keep in mind that the smaller the application window becomes, the more the options in a ribbon shrink. Therefore, you might only see a small icon instead of text, or you might see only a section name displayed with a down arrow to access the options in it. You can hover over small icons to see tooltips that describe them. You can also enlarge the application window or click one of the section drop-downs in the ribbon to locate a hidden feature.
- Translate Toolbar Click .
  To open the Translate toolbar from the menu view, you can select View>Toolbars>Translate.
The Export to TMX Dialog opens.
Next to the TMX File field, click .
In the dialog that opens, navigate to the folder where you want to export the file. Also in the File name field, enter a name for the new TMX file. Then click Save.
In the Languages to export field, all of the languages involved in your translation memory database are listed, showing both the source and target languages. Select the languages that you want to include in the exported TMX file.
In the Source language field, select the language(s) that you want to be available as the source in the exported TMX file. You can select an individual language or you can select "Any," which allows tools to use translations in any direction in the TMX file.

Let's say that the "Languages to export" field shows English-to-Danish and English-to-German translations. Like this:

If you select "English" in the Source Language field to the right, the tool using the exported TMX file will be able to use the translations going from English to Danish or English to German.

If you select "Any" in the Source Language field to the right, the tool using the exported TMX file will be able to use the translations going from English to Danish, English to German, Danish to English, and German to English.
Click Start Export. A message lets you know the results of the export.
Click OK.
