This is an old topic, but I ran into the same problem yesterday so I think it is still of interest. Therefore I attach updated macros that can be used to export Passolo projects (.tbulic18) from Passolo Translator Edition 2018 into TMX and XLIFF files for use in e.g. Trados Studio. All credit to whoever wrote the original macros. I am no expert, my code changes are based on simple internet searches.

Installation:
Copy the macros to C:\Users\Public\Documents\Passolo Translator 2018\Macros

Running:
Tools > Macros > Macro List, select the macro and click Run. The .tmx or .xlf is saved in the same folder as the .tbulic18.

Comments:
The original macros are available at How to Export Text from Passolo File (direct link: translation-blog.com/.../Passolo.zip), but they were written for a previous MSXML version and produce errors when you try to run them. To fix the errors I just made these minor code changes:

– DOMDocument > DOMDocument60
– SAXXMLReader  > SAXXMLReader60
– MXXMLWriter > MXXMLWriter60
– Msxml2.DOMDocument > Msxml2.DOMDocument.6.0

That is all that was needed to make the XLIFF macro work.

The TMX macro still didn't produce a valid TMX that could be imported into an SDLTM and to fix that I made these additional changes:
– Inserted an empty <header/> tag
– Deleted all code lines related to notes, since the original macro inserted <note> elements inside <tuv> elements which Trados didn't like. Perhaps these note elements could be moved up one level instead, as direct children to the <tu> element, but I haven't looked into that. Feel free to improve.

I noticed that the XLF and TMX export macros had stopped working in Passolo 2022 Translator Edition so I made some minor adjustments to get them going again, just changing one line of code in each .bas file.

I also noticed that the previous link to the files wasn't working anymore since it had been accessed more than 50 times, so I have updated that one as well now pointing to a Dropbox folder which will hopefully work better:

Passolo macros

Great! Thank you

This is really great. Appreciate your work.

Can anybody give me a hint if it is possible to call the script automatically without user interaction?

Ok, I managed to adapt the script to my needs: export all untranslated strings of each project language to xlif.

If anyone else has this task, ping me.

Not sure what you mean by "call the script automatically without user interaction". Do you mean how to export all target languages in one go? I have no experience of that since I have only worked with one target language at a time, but you seem to have fixed it yourself now.

Exactly. I automatically export the untranslated strings of my Passolo projects.

However, the script above imports the text of an import file into all my target languages.

I've added the condition in line 70 and it works fine now. Just to let you all know.
