That error tells me about as much as I expected... zilch.
Perl is packaged into the .exe so even if you have perl installed on your system, I don't think the system perl is used by TML. What you could do if you have perl is to try and run the .pl instead of the .exe. You would need to install a bunch of modules.
Here's a .pl: [url removed]

Generally it's not worth bothering with running the .pl directly. The possible upsides are a quicker program launch and the ability to customize the program. And of course in this case, possibly getting it to run at all.

My case was: I got a studio package and imported it in memoQ. While exporting, I got a similar error and although I corrected almost everything manually, the file didn't export. The suggestion was to open the project in Studio to verify the segment number and tag in question. Indeed they were different. I have found the correct segment in memoQ and fixed the error. Problem solved.

I hope it helps.

I think this is brilliant, Elif, and could perhaps be adapted to work in other cross-platform situations. Thank you.

Best translation memory software?

Hi everyone,

I've been putting this off for a while but I think the time has come where I need to invest in a memory tool of some sort. Does anyone have any recommendations for programs that are easy to use? Better yet (and I know this is a long shot) but does anyone know of any free ones? I'm not after anything fancy, just literally a program that let's you input the terms that you've translated, their translations and then let's you search for them in future :)

Hello Emily--All the CAT (Computer-Aided Translation) tools meet your requirements, for a start just check Tools> Translation tools menu.

The options include
1) trial versions (limited by TU number/features/expiration date);
2) free offline (without the internet requirement) tools;
3) web-based (online/cloud) tools.

Free opts are an offline cross-platform OmegaT and online WordFast Anywhere (FreeTM.com; mind the NDA!); however, I still prefer old WordFast Classic 3.35x (2002! Requires tweaking with Unicode and newer MS Word!), yet you'd rather check tools on YouTube and official sites to get your own impressions and preferences, deciding on your priorities.

Of course, as many other translators, you can use several CATs, just remember they often use different file format for TM/glossary

Wordfast Classic is the cheapest and easiest to use AFAIK, and you can demo it free. It's also compatible with Trados, the would-be Thanos of CAT.

Apologies! Yesterday was a long day, sad to see my grammar slipped because of it! This is why I need a TM - so I don't get exhausted from researching the same thing over and over and tiring my brain out! Corrected it now :)

Hi Emily,

First of all, and this is just IMHO obviously, investing in a CAT tool is the best and maybe most essential investment a translator can (and should?) make (ok, next to a good pc/laptop and a coffee machine obviously.... (^_-)

I have worked with a lot of cat tools and I find that most of them work more or less the same, so find one that works for you.

Every tool has its pros and cons, and I always seem to find at least a few issues that make me come back to Trados. For example, the autosuggest feature alone saves me at least a few hundred euros per month.

If you are relatively new to the business, and don't have the capital to buy such a (too?) expensive tool, definitely go for one of the cheaper or free tools!
Also, next to reading/watching relevant info from the insane amount of very useful content on proz about our profession, definitely check out the tool guide for translators by Jost Zetzsche (if you didn't know this already ofcourse).

Happy hunting!

Let us know what you decide and tell us your experience!

Cheers,

Laurens.

Sadly, that "menu" is just a series of [presumably paid] advertisements disguised as a menu.

No version of Wordfast Classic is in any way compatible with any version of Trados released in the past 10 years.

Thanks everyone! Some really useful tips here! As you say, I'm new to this profession (as a full timer anyway) so I'd rather start with something free just to get the feel of things. I've had a look at your suggestions and remember that I'd used Wordfast Anywhere during my master's! I'm going to try this one and hope it all comes flooding back :P

Hello,

I've just downloaded Olifant (Version 2.0 build 5).
My OS is Windows 10.
When I try to import a tmx file, I get the following error message:

Can anyone advise on why this is happening and how to resolve the issue?

TMX editor with Regex support (Windows 10)?

Forum: CAT Tools Technical Help
Topic: TMX editor with Regex support (Windows 10)?
Poster: Hayley Leva

Hello,

I have been looking into tmx editors with the aim of cleaning up a large (and overly messy) translation memory. In particular, I would like to delete:
- number-only segments
- segments containing (only) product codes and/or brand names
- segments shorter than X characters.

I imagine an editor which supports Regex might be the answer, but does such a thing exist?

I've already tried:
- Heartsome tmx editor - I can't find a way to filter as I need to
- Olifant tmx editor - I read that it supports Regex, but I get an error when trying to import my tmx file ("Item has already been added") so haven't got any further than that (I've made a separate post for that issue*)

Any ideas?
Hayley

Hmm, CafeTran can open/edit TMXs, and you can then use CafeTran's (extensive) TMX editing features, as well as filter using regular expressions (and delete relevant TUs and re-save), if I remember correctly. Will have a look if I have a moment. Also ask here: [url removed] where I am sure someone else will help you.

Filter dialogue when opening a TMX in CafeTran:

Various TMX editing functions available via: Task > TMX memory once TMX is already open in CafeTran:

TMX editor with Regex support (Windows 10)? | CafeTran looks like a good option (but licence required for TMs with more than 1000 TUs)

Post title: CafeTran looks like a good option (but licence required for TMs with more than 1000 TUs)

Thank you Michael for your reply - from your screenshots it certainly looks like CafeTran might be able to do what I need.
However, I checked the CafeTran licensing page, and it looks like the free version has a TM limit of 1000 TUs. As the TMs I want to clean up each have 15,000 - 30,000 TUs, if I did want to use CafeTran, I would have to pay for a licence. I'm not ruling that out as an option, but I'll need to do some more research first!

One specific query I have relates to compatibility, as I created (and currently use) my TMs in Trados Studio (2017). Can you confirm that I can do the following:
- export a tmx of my TM from Trados Studio (2017) (I know how to do this step)
- open and clean up* that tmx in CafeTran
- convert the edited tmx back into a Studio TM

*And in terms if clean up in CafeTran, as well as deleting unwanted segments, do you know whether it is also possible to edit the values of custom fields in my TM?

Regards,
Hayley

Post title: No TUs restrictions for TMX Editing in CafeTran Espresso

Hi Hayley,

As I have been able to confirm recently, the demo version limits do NOT apply to TMX editing in CafeTran Espresso.

You can edit big TMs without owning a license.

Just drop the TMX on the dashboard and choose Edit Translation Memory.

[url removed]

[quote]*And in terms if clean up in CafeTran, as well as deleting unwanted segments, do you know whether it is also possible to edit the values of custom fields in my TM?[/quote]

Yes, from Michael's screenshot: Task > TMX memory > Set TMX property / Remove TMX property. This applies to all filtered segments. Apart from the Filter menu, you can also filter segments by searching them in the Quick Search Bar. For example:

Type the number 5 and only the 5th segment will be selected

Type 5-95 and only that range will be selected.

Just make sure that when you click Ctrl+F to bring up the advanced search preferences, "Segment numbers" is enabled on the left side of the search window.

[quote]One specific query I have relates to compatibility, as I created (and currently use) my TMs in Trados Studio (2017). Can you confirm that I can do the following:
- export a tmx of my TM from Trados Studio (2017) (I know how to do this step)

Yes, SDL Trados can export and import TMX files, and CafeTran produces valid TMX files which can be imported back into SDL Trados. I have done so successfully in the 2015 version.

Jean

PS: For quickly customizing the UI to your liking, you can read my quick Getting comfortable document for CafeTran. Especially, you will want to test which of the 6 available window layouts (found in View > Window layout submenu) is the most practical for you in the TMX editing scenario. Try this with a TMX already loaded.
