TM and termbase import worked - but no matches Thread poster: Stefanie Weeber

Hello,
As I'm a Mac user I was happy to find Swordfish. I'm really thinking about buying it, but some I cannot make the program work properly.
I've picked a small project for which I have a separat TM and Termbase. I exported those (from MemoQ), prepared them to be ready for swordfish, did a TMX-check, created databases, checked the language codes (which are kinda hard to find in MemoQ as they seem to be slightly different compared to other programs) and then imported everythi...

As I'm a Mac user I was happy to find Swordfish. I'm really thinking about buying it, but some I cannot make the program work properly.
I've picked a small project for which I have a separat TM and Termbase. I exported those (from MemoQ), prepared them to be ready for swordfish, did a TMX-check, created databases, checked the language codes (which are kinda hard to find in MemoQ as they seem to be slightly different compared to other programs) and then imported everything to swordfish.
So far, so good.
But when I then open my source text, there are no TM matches neither are there Termbase matches. Auto-translate also doesn't work.
I have no idea what went wrong.
Does anybody, who is more experienced in this program, have any idea why I don't get any matches?
Looking forward to your responses.
Kind regards

Hi,
Export your TM database asTMX from Swordfish.
Open the TMX file in TextWrangler (free text editor for Mac)
Find the language codes and write them down. To find the codes search for "xml:lang"
Open the XLIFF file in TextWrangler an search for the codes. Make sure they match the TMX ones.
In Tasks menu select Select TM Databases an make sure your database has a check mark on the left.

In Options menu check that Auto Translations are checked.
Also in Option menu, check that fuzzy term searches are enabled and that they are not case sensitive.
This should cover most common issues.

Do you have any suggestions to this error message?
If you can help me out in this case as ell, then all my issues are solved, my concerns are gone and I'm definitely going to buy this nice program.
Kind regards

Hi,
You don't need to convert to GlossML. Export as TMX and that should be enough.

TOPIC STARTER | Has worked, but only see the term columns | Apr 12, 2015 |
Hello Rodolfo,
this has worked fine, thank you. I didn't know that it is possible to import a termbase as a TMX file.
But how can I make sure to see all the columns that are defined (comment and the definition columns)? I have those columns in the CSV file, and I also defined them when opening the file in Anchovy, but when I then import the file in Swordfish, only the terms are visible in the terminology pane?

I'm really sorry that I'm asking all the questions here, but I cannot find anything in the manuals to this point.
Thanks again for your great support! I really appreciate it!

Hi,
Only terms are displayed on the terminology panel. Comments and definitions are only visible when working in Anchovy.
