SDL Trados Studio 2011: How can I change the Source Language and Target Language in TM? Thread poster: Rain Na Bun

How can I change the Source Language and Target Language in TM?
I cannot use the TM for translation because of the name of Source Language and Target Language does not match with my language pair.
I would like to change the name of Source Language and Target Language in TM.
The source and target language are English (United Kingdom) to Catalan (Catalan)
It should be English (United States) to Thai (Thai)
How can I do that?
Thank you... See more How can I change the Source Language and Target Language in TM?

I believe you need to export to TMX, use a suitable text editor (find/replace) to change the language codes and import back into Studio.

Thank you Dominique.
It's already in TMX format.

There's a (very) basic text editor included in Windows: Notepad. If your TMX is not too big, it may work for you. If not, you will have to get a more capable text editor. There are loads of them, both free and commercial. Google "free text editor for Windows" or ask for recommendations. I personally use a commercial editor called UltraEdit, but there are lots of good free ones that would be perfectly sufficient for your needs (find/replace).

Hi,
I thought it might be useful to let you know about a new application posted on the open exchange last week that will allow you to add any translation memory you like as a reference TM. You can only update TMs that match your Project languages exactly, but with this application you can add them for reference. So creating project templates that contain a TM cascade of all the flavours you use regularly might be a good option in future.

| | Just export, import into a correct-language tradosmemory, and back | Mar 27, 2014 |
I just had this problem and the editing advice didn't work, so I exported from Studio 2011 to TMX, created an empty memory in Trados workbench with the necessary language pair, imported from the TMX into the Trados memory - no checks made!!!.
I then exported from Trados to TMX - which now had the right language pair - and created a new memory in Studio for the language pair and imported that latest TMX file - really fast even on a large memory and worked fine.

I have done basically the 1st step (thinking this will be it, and frankly, I don't understand why you'd do basically the same twice) and it didn't work - En-GB tmx wouldn't be imported to an empty En-US memory. So I don't see how this could work.
But anyway, for those who still have Trados 2011 in 2019 (I do and am very happy with it!): the trick with editing works and is super easy and fast (thank you, Dominique!), no fancy applications needed.
Be sure to do the editing in the tmx file, not in the Trados format. You just replace all occurrences of the language acronym with the language you want (in my case EN-GB with EN-US, as a source language) and voila, you have a memory in that language pair.
I see no reason why this wouldn't work also with newer versions of Trados Studios, actually all CATs that support tmx format. Wish there was such an easy solution to every problem with those grumpy CATs!
