Does Pairaphrase support TMX files?

This article explains how Pairaphrase supports TMX files.

Translation Memory TMX File Format

The TMX (Translation Memory eXchange) standard is an XML-based format used to store and exchange translation memory (TM) data between different translation tools and systems. It enables the sharing of previously translated text segments (known as "translation units") along with their corresponding source text across various software platforms.

Key points about TMX:

  1. Interoperability: TMX allows translation memories to be used across different translation software, ensuring compatibility and reusability.
  2. Consistency: By storing translated segments, TMX helps maintain consistent translations across projects and documents.
  3. Efficiency: Using TMX, translators can leverage previous work, reducing time and effort needed for new translations.


In summary, TMX is a standardized format that facilitates the exchange and reuse of translation memory data, improving translation consistency and efficiency across different tools. Pairaphrase supports the TMX standard and Owners and Admins can import/export TMX files created in other translation software.
