import TBX? Or any kind of tab-delimited format? #99

Hi everyone,

Is it possible yet to import TBX? Or any kind of tab-delimited format? And if so, how?

Michael

I'm also interested in finding this out. Are there any updates on this matter?

Hmm, I don't think anyone is monitoring this area.

Hi Michael, this is the e-mail I received when I asked for support on this matter. The work around described below did work for me. Until an TBX import is implemented you could try this:

E-Mail extract:

We hope to finish implementing the web-based TBX import function under 'Configuration' very soon, this quarter I hope.

In the meantime, it is possible to convert a TBX file to a Terminologue SQLITE file using the tbx-import.js script. Here are some instructions (Windows):

Wow, thanks for this! That seems doable.

Any idea what happens with duplicates, if any, when importing from a TBX? That is, if a term is already in the SQLITE, do you end up with a duplicate after importing fro the TBX?

I'm constantly on the lookout for a proper termbase solution for my gigantic collection of Dutch-English data. See: https://termhotel.com for some info on my stuff. I have literally hundreds and hundreds of smaller glossaries and all kinds of other termbases I'd like to get into some form of proper database at some point.

I have used and own all manner of commercial software (Trados MultiTerm, LogiTerm, http://www.evoterm.net, tlTerm https://tshwanedje.com/terminology/, etc.), but would like something I can tinker with myself.

Best wishes,

Michael

  • Download the Terminologue software.
  • Install Node.js and add it to your system path.
  • Create a Terminologue formatted Termbase via the Terminologue web interface (Either using your own instance of Terminologue or by creating an account on our cloud-based instance [http://www.terminologue.org< http://www.terminologue.org]www.terminologue.org http://www.terminologue.org.)
  • Download this termbase (Configuration > Download termbase.sqlite).
  • Open 'terminologue\exportimport\tbx-import.js' in an editor, assign the path to your TBX file to the TBXFILE variable, assign the path to your SQLITE file to the SQLITEFILE variable, and save.
  • Open a command prompt, navigate to 'terminologue\exportimport', and run 'node tbx-import.js'. This is dependent on 'terminologue\shared\tbx-to-entry.js'.
  • Upload your SQLITE file to your Terminologue termbase (Configuration

    Upload termbase.sqlite).

Nope, sorry can't really help you there, mate. I've been importing terms into clean databases so far. Just give it a try, the process is pretty quick.

I was looking for this. Thanks! I hope it will be included in the actual interface one day.
