For example, you export your TM from a proprietary CAT application’s format (like Trados, etc.) to the TMX format and then you import this TMX format to Anaphraseus (or to any other CAT tool). Many CAT tools use their own (proprietary) Translation Memory formats and TMX helps translators and translating agencies share their TM’s easily. It is a translator’s right to choose any CAT software and in case a group of translators works on a project, they can thus share their TM’s. In Computer Aided Translation you use the Translation Memory eXchange (TMX) format (XML) because translators often need to migrate (export/import) their TM’s to a variety of CAT tools they use. You can use them for any translation job for example, bible-italian2eng.txt (from Italian to English) or bible-eng2italian.txt (from English to Italian) will be your TM’s for biblical translation projects (both Wordfast and Anaphraseus use TXT format in their TM’s). The software allows you to work with many Translation Memories. You will need a separate TM for every language combination – for example, if you translate from German to Polish, this combination – that is, this TM is not good for translation from Polish to German. To do this, click on the Anaphraseus Setup icon, select New, and then enter pertinent TMX codes, which you will need for cases you decide to export your TM later (see Little Glossary at the bottom). The first step is to create (or possibly to import) your TM. To make your first translation, create (or import) your 1) Translation Memory 2) open a document with your desired source language and 3) start translating it by clicking on the Alt+Down button on the Anaphraseus icon panel. You will then see a new panel with the Anaphraseus icons appearing in the OOo environment.
