Conversion details

The source language defaults to English (en). Use --source-language to select another language. The target language must be supplied with --language. Entries missing either selected language are skipped.

All nonempty, nondeprecated source and target terms in each concept are paired with one another, producing one TMX translation unit per pair. Concept, language and term notes are copied to the corresponding translation units. Terms are exported as plain text, including the text inside inline XML elements.

A directory of TBX files can be combined into a single TMX file:

tbx2tmx --source-language en -l cs tbx-directory glossary.tmx
