tmx2text Files

Tmx2text is a simple tool for extracting the text content from tmx translation memories. The text can be saved as plain text and the interface allows for some basic editing.

Requirements:
Python 3 or higher
PyQt4 or higher
(Note: make sure you have PyQt installed for the Python3+ version you're using if the default Python for your system is not version 3 or higher.)
If you're using Ubuntu, Linux Mint, or probably any Debian based distro, you can probably just install the python3-pyqt4 package from the repositories. 


Tmx2text is just a python script so you don't really need to install  it.

But...
If you're using Linux you need to make tmx2text.sh executable (try 'chmod 755 tmx2text.sh') and then make a link to it somewhere you can execute files from.

OR:
You can just run tmx2text-qt.py with Python3 or higher.
Note:
You might need to install xterm to start tmx2text-qt.py from file managers or menus.


I don't think the interface requires much explanation (not yet anyway).

Every segment in the tmx is a line in the text.
Some software, like OmegaT, seems to put the segments in an order different from how they appear in the original text. Tmx2text only extracts the segments in the order they appear in the tmx. While I'm on the topic of OmegaT, OmegaT tags (e.g. </f1>) are automatically highlighted and they can all be removed automatically. But BEWARE, because you CANNOT undo 'remove tags'.

Tmx2text is free software (see license).
