Anyone know of a quick way to reverse a TMX?
(en-GB)-(nl-NL) -> (nl-NL)-(en-GB)
Can this be done in either Olifant, or Xbench (or memoQ:)?
Thanks,
Michael

If you mean to import the TMX into MemoQ, you don't need to make any edits in the file. Simply import the TMX into the memory and, in the "Translation memory TMX import settings" dialog box, switch the locales in the "Source" and "Target" drop-down lists of the "Languages" group.

I mean, is there an easy way to actually change the direction around in the .TMX file?

No need to do that, TM direction depends not on the TMX but on what TM you import it into.
If you mean that someone labeled the languages wrong, here's how to reverse that:
Open the TMX and
replace <tuv xml:lang="NL-NL"> with <tuv xml:lang="placeholder">
replace <tuv xml:lang="EN-GB"> with <tuv xml:lang="NL-NL">
replace <tuv xml:lang="placeholder"> with <tuv xml:lang="EN-GB">

| Actually changing it in an editor? | Sep 14, 2010 |
I wonder whether you would like to open the TMX in Word (or another editor, for that matter) and actually do a global Find/Replace for the codes and chance them? That is how I would go about it.
Of course you would to change one of the locales to some own impossible word like BEIJERBEIJER, then one locale to the other, then BEIJERBEIJER to the pending locale.
Sounds like a stupid method, but I reckon you don't to this often?

That solved my problem. ("No need to do that, TM direction depends not on the TMX but on what TM you import it into.")

Wait a few weeks till memoQ 4.5 is released, and it will be possible to do it!
(No, really, this feature has been announced.)

Hi there
I do the following:
Create a new TM with the new reverse source and target languages
then
• Click on Tools and click on Resource Console
• Under the Translation Memories panel, select the TM you wish to reverse
• Highlight the TM and click on Export to TM
• You will be given the option of where to save the file
• Save the file
• Highlight the new TM that you have created (the reverse TM)

• Click on OK
• The software will now import the file into the TM in the reverse way
Hope this helps ▲ Collapse

Exactly what I was about to answer. And I do confirm, this will be in 4.5, released next week.

Hi Michael,
a late reply, but: you can do it for sure in both Olifant (faster) and Xbench.
With Xbench you export to a TAB delimited text which you have to reverse the columns within EXCEL.
With Olifant it's much easier instead, but I don't remember the procedure on the fly.
Greets,
Mike
