Save as TMX option in the Alignment

Please add "save as TMX" option for Studio alignment to use the aligned document result in both TM directions or make Studio import sdlalign files like TMX respecting the TM's language direction.

Use case is simple:

The aligned document can be useful for both TM directions like EN-RU and RU-EN

If the aligned document direction is set to EN-RU you can import the result only in TM with proper direction otherwise you get source and target text misplaced in the TM like English text in the source.

It would be great if this could be implemented, as the SDLXLIFF files do not store metadata (like text fields). Not being able to align a pair of documents and keep the alignment results in TMX with its metadata is really an issue for me.

Hi Yuriy Belik,

In addition to Annemieke's solution, you can always use an EN-RU TM in the opposite language direction by adding it as AnyTM to your project.
