Hi everybody,

I am newbie here, so my apologies if I posted this in the wrong section. Can anybody please suggest a tool for viewing .tmx files outside a project. Particularly for Windows, but maybe Linux, too.

Thanks!

Notepad++ May 25, 2013

Notepad++ is a text editor that is more "intelligent" than Windows Notepad. To use it to view an XML file (such as a TMX file: TMX is an XML application), you should select "XML" in the Language menu. You will then still see the full contents of the TMX file but the different categories of content will be in different colours. Example: in this extract

<tuv xml:lang="de-DE">
<seg>Entscheidung fällt erst im Juni</seg>
</tuv>
<tuv x

<tuv xml:lang="en-GB">
<seg>A decision will not be made until June.</seg>
</tuv>

the segments' contents ("Entscheidung fällt erst im Juni" and "A decision will not be made until June.") are shown in black and the tags (<tuv ...>) are part-blue (tag name and attribute string) and part-red (attribute name). You can change the colours in
Settings > Style Configurator... - Language XML

I use Notepad as a simple and quick viewing tool. Of course, Notepad++ is much better.
MS Word is also OK for this purpose.

I'd also like to search in it May 25, 2013

Thanks everyone for the suggestions! The problem is I also want to look up segment parts in this file. I guess it is not very convenient if the file is opened as plain text. AFAIK XML is a very rich in tags and not very easy to view without a parser. Maybe the XSL file Piotr mentioned will make the database more readable. Thanks, Piotr! I'll probably give it a try.

Why not Okapi Olifant? May 25, 2013

It is the best tool for working with TMX files, and the most convenient one, imho. Of course, it depends on what do you want to do with your TMX.

Thanks, Natalie! This sounds like a nice tool. I googled and downloaded it. The list of features seems great, however... It failed to open one of my most frequently used TMs. A large one, also. Here is the error message I got:

Opening TM...
Error: '', hexadecimal value 0x03, is an invalid character. Line 4967, position 52.
at System.Xml.XmlTextReaderImpl.Throw(Exception e)
at System.Xml.XmlTextReaderImpl.Throw(String res, String[] args)


I tried it on a smaller TMX file and it opened without a problem. I'll have to look at it more closely. Thanks again!

CSS May 26, 2013

Associate a CSS style sheet with the TMX and you can view it in any Web browser.

See my posting http://deu.proz.com/forum/sdl_trados_support/223163-urgent:_studio_2011_how_can_i_convert_sdltm_to_txt.html#1932077

Thanks Joakim for the very helpful piece of advice! BTW I followed the link in your profile and found out about your program for searching in TMX files, Xoterm, but it is only for the Mac, right?

Okay, I've finally fixed on Olifant for .tmx maintenance, and TmxPad for looking up terms and segments. Thanks everyone for the help!

A free online TMX file viewer Feb 20, 2014

Hi guys,

My agency just launched Wazzo, a free online tmx viewer: http://wazzo.ca/.

It should allow you to open any tmx file and view it in your browser (if it doesn't, let me know).

The bird is a little grumpy, but he's helpful nonetheless.

Enjoy!

-Eric

So you're using this online converter. Are you sure that your client agrees with the use of it?
