Bilingual TMX EditorThe bilingual TMX Editor is a simple to use, but efficient tool to view and edit TMX files for two languages

A language pair consists of a source and target segmentIn contrast to the TMX Editor it works just for two languages.

It contains a project tool supporting the fast checking of many TMX files.It is mainly intended for checking and editing TMX files from alignment tools.

Not recommended for huge TMX files resulting from TMX database exports.



TUVs and TUsA TMX file basically consists of set of „TU“ which represent translations for a given concept (segment)A TU consists of one or more “TUV” which represent the language specific translation. More than one TUV per language can be contained in a TMX file.Multiple alignments form the Araya alignment tool are marked as properties:

ARAYA::MultipleTargetARAYA::MultipleSourceWith a number.

Converting Files between different Character Encodings Source file name

Target file; will be created based on source file name and as

extension the target encoding character set

Source encoding character set

Target encoding character set

This function supports converting files between different character sets. Depending on the target character up to two files are written. If the target file is a UTF-8, 16, 32 or UCS file, two files are written. The second file with the extension „.nobom“ is a copy of the first target file, the only difference is that the BOM (Byte Order Marks) are removed from this file. This file should be used for importing, esp. when an import of an UTF-8 file is done in Araya, as the Java reading functions for UTF-8 does not over read the BOM characters. This could lead to problems when reading normal strings from those file as the BOMs are read as normal characters resulting in invalid entries.(This is a known bug in Java UTF-8 file reading, but will not be corrected by SUN!).

Bilingual Command Center 1The Bilingual Command Center is always the top window.It supports different operations in a single place.



Bilingual Command Center 2Mark operation are used to mark specific source and target segments (TUVs) as regions for specific operations.Currently only deleting a set of entries marked (TUs) is supported.Marked TUVs are coloured in green = start and blue = end of mark region.



Bilingual Command Center 3Delete Entry (TU) deletes either a TU entry if it is a 1:1 aligned segment or deletes the corresponding TUV pair in a TU.Delete Multiple Aligned Entry (TU) deletes a TU entry in any case including all n:m alignments contained.



Bilingual Command Center 4Delete Source Segment (TUV) deletes a TUV source segment.Delete Target Segment (TUV) deletes a TUV target segment.Both operations only clear the segment, they do not remove them!The deleted entries are marked red.



Bilingual Command Center 5Delete Marked Entries (TUs) deletes all the entries of a marked region using the source entry markers. It starts with the markedsource start entry and ends with the marked source end entry.



Bilingual Command Center 6Move Up operations move the (source or target) segment after theselected entry up one itemIt overwrites the preceding item..

If this segment is

the selected entry “Move

up” will move it up one segment

This segment will be overwritten!
