TMX is the LISA OSCAR standard for translation memories.

Standard conformance

Summary: TMX version 1.4 conformance to Level 1, except that no markup is stripped.

  • All required header fields are supplied.

  • The adminlang field in the header is always English.

  • None of the optional header fields are supplied.

  • Multiple language variants are supported. Source variants are selected using the configured source language, a translation unit’s srclang, or the header’s srclang, in that order. Target variants can be selected by configuring a target language.

  • No special consideration for segmentation.

  • Currently text is treated as plain text, in other words no markup like HTML inside messages are stripped or interpreted as it should be for complete Level 1 conformance.
