Bilingual TMX Editor
The bilingual TMX Editor is a simple to use, but
efficient tool to view and edit TMX files for two
languages
A language pair consists of a source and target segment
In contrast to the TMX Editor it works just for two
languages.
It contains a project tool supporting the fast
checking of many TMX files.
It is mainly intended for checking and editing TMX
files from alignment tools.
Not recommended for huge TMX files resulting from TMX
database exports.

TUVs and TUs
A TMX file basically consists of set of „TU“ which
represent translations for a given concept (segment)
A TU consists of one or more “TUV” which represent
the language specific translation. More than one
TUV per language can be contained in a TMX file.
Multiple alignments form the Araya alignment tool
are marked as properties:
ARAYA::MultipleTarget
ARAYA::MultipleSource
With a number.

Converting Files between different
Character Encodings Source file name

Target file; will be created based
on source file name and as
extension the target encoding
character set

Source encoding character set

Target encoding character set

This function supports converting files between different character sets. Depending on the target character
up to two files are written. If the target file is a UTF-8, 16, 32 or UCS file, two files are written. The second file
with the extension „.nobom“ is a copy of the first target file, the only difference is that the BOM (Byte Order
Marks) are removed from this file. This file should be used for importing, esp. when an import of an UTF-8
file is done in Araya, as the Java reading functions for UTF-8 does not over read the BOM characters. This
could lead to problems when reading normal strings from those file as the BOMs are read as normal
characters resulting in invalid entries.
(This is a known bug in Java UTF-8 file reading, but will not be corrected by SUN!).
