Are you sure those characters were put there by the converter? Could they possibly be present in the TMX file? I have a small AutoIt script that attempts to remove a couple of characters from TMX files and escape unrecognized entities in the TMX file [url= [url removed] ]here[/url]. Removing those characters and/or escaping unknown entities may help the file get converted better. The script [tmxfixerbasic_noisy (utf16le).au3] takes about 20 seconds to process a 200 MB TMX file.
[quote]Next option: Xbench 2.9. The conversion is okay... [/quote]
I thought Xbench 2.9 can't handle Unicode correctly...?
Disfr takes 30 seconds to convert a 200 MB TMX file to Excel:
[url removed]
though unfortunately all tags are converted to {ph}.
