How to import translation memories from Google Translator Toolkit to Trados?

Terry Cai

I want to import translation memories from Google Translator Toolkit to Trados.
I have read this article as below:
www.quora.com/How-can-I-output-termbases-and-translation-memory-from-Google-Translator-Toolkit-to-Trados

I would like to translate English to Chinese (Taiwan).
The the identifier of the source language in the .tmx file from Google is: <source_lang>en</source_lang>
and the identifier of the target language in the .tmx file from Google is: <target_lang>zh-TW</target_lang>

so I replace the identifiers <source_lang>en</source_lang> with:
<source_lang>en-US</source_lang>

and save the .tmx file with Notepad.

I try to import this translation memory .tmx file to TRADOS. But the import process still failed.

I use Olifant to open the .tmx file. Actually, the language identifiers seems to not change, that is, the identifier of the source language is still: en, not en-US.

How can I fix this problem?

Thank you.

    To successfully import your Google Translator Toolkit translation memories into Trados, ensure you correctly update the language identifiers in the .tmx file. Instead of manually editing the XML file with Notepad, use a tool like Olifant to check the language code changes and save the file properly. Double-check that the language codes are consistent and valid (e.g., replace en with en-US and zh-TW for Chinese Taiwan). Also, verify the file is correctly formatted before trying the import again in Trados.
