Ravi,

You can use Heartsome's TMX Editor to align the txt and XML files and generate a translation memory in TMX format. For resx and C++ you will need to use a different tool.

Once you have the TMX, create a TM database in the XLIFF Editor and import the TMX. Select the new TM database as working TM using the 'Select Database" option from Database menu. After that, the program will start offering matches automatically.

You can join Heartsome's support list, http://www.heartsome.net/EN/mailist.html and ask for additional help there.

Regards,
Rodolfo

Transolution may also be able to do the job for you:

Two others are Open Language Tools and Cafetran but I haven't got either of these to function fully.

Using TagEditor or any text editor Apr 9, 2006

Xlf files are xml-coded. You can open and edit xlf it in TagEditor or any text editor such as Notepad or EmEdit. If you choose TagEditor, please remember to save it as target file after completion.

Don't open and edit it in MS Office such as Word or FrontPage because it may insert lines of MS Office-specific code inside, which may result in error when your client processes it.

The last version is still that of August 2005; the original author has stopped developing it as he, if I remember correctly, has a new job and cannot spare Transolution any more time.

I've had more success with the Open Language Tools XLIFF editor since my post in April last year. Transolution seems to be able to open a large XLIFF file I generated with OLT, so the two are somewhat interoperable.
