SDLTmExport: Ideas on the new release

Hi all,

I have started working on the new Version of SDLTmExport and I am collecting Ideas on what I should include.

So far I plan to:

1. Create installer

2. Change border color of icon to differentiate it  from SDLTmReverceLangs.

3. Create log file

4. Select TMs not only by scanning directories but also by selecting files.

5. Export TM Info (settings, attributes etc.) to log file and to a CSV

6. Export TM as Studio TMX

7. Export TM as Vanilla TMX

8. Export TM as Vanilla XLIFF

9. Export TM as plain Text

10. Optimize TM based on TUs added since last  recompute indexes

11. Export TM based on TUs added since last recompute indexes

12. Move Exported files to specified folder

13. Copy SDLTMs files to specified folder

I am also thinking of a SDLTmExport Pro version, probably as a paid application that it can be used by MLVs / LSPs for Automated TM maintenance (optimization, and backup).

A command line driven version that will find all TMs changed since the previous run (have added TUs), recompute indexes (if there is a need), export in TMX and/or copy SDLTMs changed  in a backup folder and report outcome and problems by email.

Please let me know if there is anything else you might think worth adding in the free version and if you think the Pro version is a good idea.

Thank you in advance for your time.

Best regards,

Costas

  • Hi Costas,

    Great ideas for expansion.  Maybe you could add a back up scheduler in there (for the pro version) that after a scan will automatically export the TMs.  Maybe even do this for server based TMs too so there is a regular backup available as a file based solution.  So perhaps some ftp capability to place files somewhere else?

    It might also be a good idea to ask the same quesiton in the Beta Forum as the users there might have some interesting usecases.

    Regards
