Questions and answers
Is it possible to export a TM with tags which were created during project translation or added to segments after the import process?
It does not matter how the tags have been created
...
. Once a particular TM record contains some tags, they will be visible in the exported TMX file.
Is it possible to export a set of TM data, containing segment IDs, in an XLSX file?
This is not possible. The segment IDs will not be visible in the generated XLSX file. However, if you generate a TMX file, for exporting the TM data, the segment IDs will be visible in the metadata .
Is it possible to export segments that contain a specific word from a TM?
This is not possible. You can only search for segments that contain a specific word in the TM Manage tab screen.
Is it possible to export a set of TM data that is restricted according to a specified creation date or modified date?
It is possible to do so via the REST API. For more information, see the official REST API documentation: XTM Connect SDK - REST API.
It is also possible to do so via the SOAP API by using the ExportTM method.
Are tags visible in an exported TM?
Yes, they are. If a particular TM record contains any tags, and the TM record is exported, they will all be visible in prop elements: <prop type="tagGroup">Example_tag</prop>.
Is it possible to export a TM with inline tags from XTM Workbench?
It is possible to export a TM with inline tags from XTM Workbench. To do so, you need to export your TM as a TMX file, which preserves all the data in it.
For example, you might then have the following text in the source file:
|
Which is shown in XTM Workbench in the following way:
{1}(hi) {2}(chocolate) {3}(evening) {4}(match) |
The TMX export file will contain the relevant data.
What sets the order in which TM records are listed in a TM export file?
If the TM data is exported from a particular project that only contains segments that were not present in the TM (new TM matches), the TM records (segments) will be exported in the same order as they were listed in XTM Workbench. However, if the project consists of a mixture of new and existing translations (such as ICE matches or Leveraged matches), the order of exported segments will vary depending on factors such as time they were translated, type of TM match, etc.
