Introduction

The purpose of this article is to answer common questions about the Translation memory (TM) Export module in XTM Cloud and to help resolve issues you might experience with it.

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 given TM record has some tags, they will be visible in the exported TMX file.

Is it possible to export a TM with segment ID in XLSX?

It is not possible. The segment ID will not be visible in the generated XLSX file. The segment IDs, however, will be visible in the metadata if you generate a TMX file.

Is it possible to export segments from a TM that contains a specific word?

It is not possible. You can only search for them in the TM Manage tab.

Is it possible to export a TM based on a creation date\modified date?

It is possible to do so via REST API. For more information, see the official REST API documentation: XTM Connect SDK - REST API.

It is also possible to do so via SOAP API, by means of the ExportTM method.

Are tags visible in the exported TM?

Yes, they are. If a particular TM record contains any tags, they will all be visible in the exported TM 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, the you might have the following text in the source file:

{cześć} (hi) {czekolada} (chocolate) {wieczór} (evening) {mecz} (match)

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 does the order TM records in the TM export file depend on?

If the TM is exported from a particular project that contains only segments that were not present in the TM (new TM matches), the order will be retained as if there was in XTM Workbench. However, if the project consists of a mix of new and already existing translations (ICE matches, Leveraged matches, etc.) the order of exported segments will vary depending on factors such as time of the translation, type of TM match, etc.
