#323 Document how to use TBX glossary

[Nathan Glenn]

I am trying to test OmegaT's TBX capabilities (see this page), and do not understand how to use a TBX glossary. This documentation page does not specify how. Since it doesn't have special directions, I thought maybe I could go to project -> properties -> writable glossary file and select a TBX file (with the .tbx extension, and containing XML entries). When I added another entry and saved the glossary however, it was saved as plain text with a .tbx.txt extension.

I apologize if I have missed the documentation on this. When I opened the mentioned page of documentation, the first things I searched for were the words import and export, so adding a section called Import/Export with adequate explanations on choosing different file types would be ideal.

I have moved to documentation. TBX glossaries in OmegaT are read-only.
See in changes.txt 2.2.2

• Glossary term creation interface
  http://sourceforge.net/support/tracker.php?aid=3054189
  for a short documentation of the writeable glossary.

From changes.txt,in 2.5.2, the ability to use a UTF-8 extension was also added.

Added in Glossary Page:

In addition to the plain text format, TBX format is also supported as read-only glossaries format. The location of the .tbx file must be within the /glossary folder, but it can be in a deeper folder (e.g., glossary/sub/MyGlossary.tbx).

Closed in the 3.1.8 documentation.
