The ability to save the source and/or target segments of a TM to a text file would be very helpful. I don't know if it exists, but it would solve your problem. I have gone through the process of copying and pasting swathes of TM segments into a document to facilitate term bank expansion, but since Trados only allows viewing 50 segments at a time, that could take a while for 14k. Anyone know if a TM can be saved to a text file? | |

Keep the default values and click Finish. Create an export in itd format via TM > Export > SDLX Translation File (itd). Keep all default values and click Next. Click the Browse button, define name and location of your itd export file and click Finish. Now open SDL Edit in SDLX (you can leave the SDL Maintain window open). Open your exported itd file via File > Open Translation. Go to View > Statistics and select Include untranslated text. You now have the word count of your source language. Go back to your SDL Maintain window where your exported tmx was still open. Go to View > Select Language and reverse your source and target language. Repeat steps 9-14 for your target language. ▲ Collapse | | |

I don't know if the Wordfast demo mode (which is restricted to only 500 TUs) would allow you simply to process the TM without actually doing any translating... but I suspect it probably would.

I don't use Windows, so no Word. Is it possible to do it in some other way. | |

Send your TMX through to me if you like, and I'll sort it for you — free, as a favour to a colleague. If you would like me to do this, just e-mail me via the ProZ system so I can reply and you will then have my e-mail address to which to send the file. You will also need to tell me whether you want to count JUST the source words, JUST the target ones... or both? If I send you back a text file, can you handle that OK?

The Easy Way | Apr 19, 2014 |
- Download the CafeTran trial version* (only a few MBs, available for OS X, Windows, Linux) - Run CafeTran - In the pop-up screen, select Edit TMX Memory - Click OK, browse to your TMX file, and select it - Cancel any pop-up screens (optional) - Click Start - Go to Project | File | Statistics | Project * It's limited to 30 days and 30 segments, but that doesn't go for TMX files (if things have changed, simply ask support for a time limited but not segments limited code) Cheers, Hans

You can do it with CafeTran (trial version runs on Windows, OS X and Linux): Solution courtesy of Hans (who has to wait nine years for his posts to get confirmed these days, so I posted a screenshot of his solution). Michael
