How can I use a .tmx TM with Déjà Vu X3? Thread poster: Peter Shortall

I bought Déjà Vu X3 recently and would like to know how to import a TM (.tmx format) into a project so that I can use it with the Word file I have to translate. I haven't had the software for very long and watched a beginners' webinar run by Atril just last week, it didn't cover this topic so I asked a question at the end.

The only tabs I have are File, Home, Project, Lexicon, Insert, Review and View. Can anyone tell me how to use a .tmx TM with Déjà Vu X3? Thanks in advance for any help with this. ▲ Collapse | | | Selcuk Akyuz Türkiye Local time: 06:11 English to Turkish + ... create a TM first | Feb 3, 2015 |
Hi Peter, You can import TMX files into a Translation Memory (TM), so first create a TM. "External Data" tab is available in TMs. HTH Selcuk | | | How to use a .tmx TM with Déjà Vu X3 | Feb 3, 2015 |
Here is the procedure: 1/ Create a DVX3 translation memory: in DVX3 interface, click on File/New/Translation memory, then follow the wizard instructions. (NB: if you already have a DVX3 TM, you can open it and import your .tmx.) 2/ Click on External Data tab, Import section, and choose TMX, then follow the wizard instructions to import your .tmx. 3/ To check the TMX entries you just imported, display the appropriate source and target languages in DVX3 TM interface. ...

Simply import TMX in project as any file to translate. Then You can send it to Your TM and (pre)translate your files. | | | Selcuk Akyuz Türkiye Local time: 06:11 English to Turkish + ... TMX import into project | Feb 4, 2015 |

It is another method, if the TMX file provided by the client is a small one (100-500 segments for me), I import it into the project as a translatable file. It helps to add term pairs, see duplicates and context. And at the end, I can send it to my TM based on the quality of translations. Creating a reference TM and importing the TMX file to the reference TM is not always the best approach for me. It could be, if TM matches from different TMs were identified with different colours. | | | Tanya Chepkova Russian Federation Local time: 06:11 English to Russian Issue with large TMX import | Apr 20, 2016 |
It seems like DVX3 cannot import large TMX files. Whenever I try to import the file with more than 10k segments, I receive an error message that the file type is not supported. Is there a way to overcome this obstacle? | |
