Heartsome anybody? (TMX problems - application keeps freezing after trying to import)

Also it seems to me that the requirement to choose a text code among hundreds before starting the project is quite tricky. How do I choose????

The user's manual is not that helpful. Thank you for any suggestions!

Hallo Laurent, thank you for taking time to do this test. My working horse is exactly the same as yours and I am pretty confident I bought the right tool, maybe the problem is that my TMXs come from Trados Studio 2009. Can you tell me how you pick the text codes from the list for a normal word document? Also have you ever had any problems after editing the xliff file in re-converting that into Word after translation?

I never tried to import a .TMX file into Heartsome and reading your post made me wonder, so I thought the best thing to do was to try it.

Verdict: a .TMX file of 3.58 MB and generated by SDL Trados Freelance 2007 is imported into Heartsome (release 7.6) within some 45 seconds. Maybe not a "great performance", but it works...

My working horse is an iMac with 2 Intel processors @ 2.66 GHz, running on Mac OS X Snow Leopard v. 10.6.1.

One of my major problems with H5 (and probably H6, I don't remember) was exactly the TMX loading speed which was resolved in both tools (at least in Swordfish) by the integration of external data base engines.
According to the documention, the so called internal DB format was intended only for small amounts of data and maybe the Monica's problem is related to the selected DB engine.

and worth a little additional test, IMHO - HS 7.6 has also integrated external database engines (from what I see).

It's for Swordfish but I suppose this window still looks the same in Heartsome

Hi Monica,
this is the codes I have in the headers of my .TMX file:






(you can see those headers by opening your .TMX with TextEdit, which is quite the same as Notepad in Windows). Have you checked the XML and DTD versions?

As per picking up the right codes, I never had to ask myself the question because I basically open .DOC files with OpenOffice Writer (format: .ODT), thus allowing Heartsome to automatically detect the codes or so it seems - the Code page option is grayed out and it says UTF-8 for DE>FR, FR>DE, EN>FR and EN>DE. After translating the files, I convert them back to .ODT and save them a second time as .DOC (as Heartsome can only process .DOCX directly).

As a matter of fact, I have not bothered installing the rather criticized Office for Mac on my machine. I will nevertheless make a conversion test with a .DOCX file created in Office for Windows 2007.

Hi everybody. I followed the instructions to install MySQL on Mac. Everything ran smoothly. Unfortunately there is no option available in HS Studio to choose MySQL upon creating a DB.
