Dear all,
I am working in the English > Lithuanian pair for this particular project. My project TMs are en-GB. I also have some previous (very helful) TMs, but ... their source language is en-US. Is there a way of changing en-US to en_GB as source language in the TMs?
Would be grateful for your help in this dilemma of the two countries...divided by one language (US / UK).
Yours sincerely,
VS

in any text editor (even Notepad, in case the TM isn't too heavy) and edit the languages.

Well, it's not a good idea to use Notepad, some decent text editor is required.
Download SQLiteBrowser (free of charge), Browse Data tab, translation_memories table, change the language codes accordingly.
Of course, make a backup before you proceed.
Cheers

Notepad is quite adequate. There is no need to download anything else, really.
No comments.
If one downloads a tool like Notepad++ (just an example...), he'll see the difference in a breeze. Maybe Notepad is enough for most Trados users but it's not suitable at all for professional use.
BTW, I don't understand how you deal with sdltm files with Notepad.
I you are able to handle sdltm files directly with this primitive tool, I really appreciate your skills.
For a typical human, a workaround with SQLiteBrowser is far easier.

Export the EN-US memory in txt format and open it in Notepad. Then use S&R replacing the EN-US for EN-GB. After this open your project EN-GB memory and import the edited .txt file. This works for me. But note that due to segmentation rules difference between Trados Workbench and Studio not all the segments may come out after importing the edited .txt file

You manage to do it in a decent way for a 500 MB tmx file?

1) I assume, that Vitals is aware that any sdltm file can be easily exported to txt format and backwards.

4) Nobody is speaking about any "professional use" of Notepad (I, for example, use Ultraedit as a text editor when needed), so absolutely no sensations here. The solution, however, should be always the simpliest possible.
5) Finally, in case Vitals would need any further advice I think he will let us know. ▲ Collapse

You're wrong.
You should be aware Studio doesn't handle the txt export (only tmx is supported) so one is forced to perform some fastidious steps like Workbench TM creation, tmx import, then export as txt.
As some Studio version (Starter, some student editions) are not shipped with Workbench, the txt scenario should not be proposed as a solution.
Even the TMX export/edition/import is time consuming.
The direct database edition (using SQLiteBrowser, Firefox SQLite plugin, whatever) one is able to do it in less than one minute.
