Can I remove system fields information (eg usernames in "created by", "modified by" fields) from a TMX for export?

I want to share a TMX version of a translation memory externally. I can do this by exporting the translation memory to TMX.

But I need to be able to delete personal information from the system fields in order to do so - fields such as "created by" and "modified by" which include usernames. I haven't found a way to either (i) exclude specific system fields from the export, or (ii) batch edit/delete the required fields so they don't include personal information. 

Is this possible? 

Working in Trados Studio 2022.

  • Hello,

    Yes, you can remove system fields information from a TMX for export in Trados Studio 2022. Here's how you can do it:

    Step 1: Open Trados Studio and go to the Translation Memories view.

    Step 2: Select the Translation Memory you want to export.

    Step 3: Click on the 'Export' button.

    Step 4: In the 'Export Options' dialog box, uncheck the 'Export system fields' option.

    Step 5: Click 'OK' to start the export process.

    By following these steps, the exported TMX file will not contain any system fields information, including the 'created by' and 'modified by' fields.

    Please note that this will remove all system fields, not just specific ones. If you need to keep some system fields while removing others, you would need to manually edit the TMX file after export.

    I hope this helps! If you have any other questions, feel free to ask.

    Best regards,
