Hi,
Is there some way to add 70 individual sdlalign-file types into one project (like adding 70 small files to a translation project in the translation interface)? Or must it be done painstakingly aligning every file on its own?

What in essence I need now is a tmx export, and I read that it is best to save the alignments to an sdltm file and export that as tmx.

Thanks in advance!

If you don't need SDLTM but you only need TMX, then you should try LF Aligner.

Thank you Dec 19, 2022

Hi Samuel,
Thank you. Their info says "Input: txt, doc, docx, rtf, pdf, html" - bu tmy files are sdlalign, so I don't think it would work.

You can create a blank TM and then import all your 70 sdlalign files into that TM (1). Supported import files include the sdlalign file type. Then export it as tmx (2).
