Hello experts,
Trados supports the tmx files for the purpose of Translation Memory. Could you please suggest a method to create a tmx file from a bilingual word file in which the source and target text is side by side in a table?
Thanks and regards,
Chopra

How about a free and tiny PlusTools for MS Word? Besides bilingua alignment it also can extract terms (frequent and specialized words/collocations) and do other useful things.

Yup, Wordfast's PlusTools utility can convert such a table to Wordfast's TM format, which you can then convert to TMX using another utility, Odent's WfConverter.

... why don't you copy the table into Excel, then use the Glossary Converter to convert to TMX? Or open the Excel in Studio using the Bilingual Excel filetype and just update the contents into an SDLTM, then export to TMX.
