Hi there,
I have a tmx file that I am editing with Heartsome TMX Editor and I'd like to know how to get a words count of it. Thx for any advice.

| Can a TM be saved to a text file? | Apr 18, 2014 |
The ability to save the source and/or target segments of a TM to a text file would be very helpful. I don't know if it exists, but it would solve your problem. I have gone through the process of copying and pasting swathes of TM segments into a document to facilitate term bank expansion, but since Trados only allows viewing 50 segments at a time, that could take a while for 14k.
Anyone know if a TM can be saved to a text file?

I found this tricky solution. but it seems to complex, only the get a words count.
Via SDLX
Export your translation memory in tmx format.
Open SDLX (this is part of the SDL Trados 2007 Suite) and open SDL Maintain.
Create a new translation memory via TM > New with the languages from your export.

In the wizard click Add and Add Selection to find your tmx export file.
Click OK and Next.
Select All Languages and click Next.
Keep the default values and click Finish.
Create an export in itd format via TM > Export > SDLX Translation File (itd).
Keep all default values and click Next.
Click the Browse button, define name and location of your itd export file and click Finish.
Now open SDL Edit in SDLX (you can leave the SDL Maintain window open).
Open your exported itd file via File > Open Translation.
Go to View > Statistics and select Include untranslated text.
You now have the word count of your source language.
Go back to your SDL Maintain window where your exported tmx was still open.
Go to View > Select Language and reverse your source and target language.
Repeat steps 9-14 for your target language. ▲ Collapse

Simple and quick!

I don't use Windows, so no Word. Is it possible to do it in some other way.

Send your TMX through to me if you like, and I'll sort it for you — free, as a favour to a colleague.
If you would like me to do this, just e-mail me via the ProZ system so I can reply and you will then have my e-mail address to which to send the file. You will also need to tell me whether you want to count JUST the source words, JUST the target ones... or both?
If I send you back a text file, can you handle that OK?

Open your tmx file in olifant and save it as a wordfast TM. Olifant can work in any OS.

| The Easy Way | Apr 19, 2014 |
- Download the CafeTran trial version* (only a few MBs, available for OS X, Windows, Linux)
- Run CafeTran
- In the pop-up screen, select Edit TMX Memory
- Click OK, browse to your TMX file, and select it
- Cancel any pop-up screens (optional)
- Click Start
- Go to Project | File | Statistics | Project
* It's limited to 30 days and 30 segments, but that doesn't go for TMX files (if things have changed, simply ask support for a time limited but not segments limited code)
Cheers,
Hans

You can do it with CafeTran (trial version runs on Windows, OS X and Linux):
