How can I add source and target file info to a .tmx file, created by another tool (not Studio align module), so that it is visible in concordance search, when translating in Studio?

Question

Hi All, 
 Here is my dilemma: 
 1. Studio v2017's aligner module fails on very large alignment files (2000+ pages), so I had to use D&eacute;j&agrave; vu X3 Workgroup's aligning module, and then exported the resulting DVX translation memory to a .tmx file, which I can then import in a Studio TM. 
 2. However, imported segments from .tmx files not created by Studio alignment project do not contain the extra info that Studio aligner puts in, namely: 
 
 ... the information I need to put in is highlighted in yellow above. 
 4. I need to somehow input into the .tmx file or in the resulting Trados TM at least the source file info, so that I know which EU Directive the segment is coming from. 
 How can I do that? 
 Best regards, 
 Pavel

Hi Pavel Tsvetkov , 
 
As you've been around for a while perhaps you have Workbench? If you create a Workbench TM using your TMX it will contain all the metadata. All you need to do then is upgrade the TMW file (and its four additional files) to an SDLTM and you'll have what you need.

That answer was rubbish... I should have read it properly. The answer is probably very easy. 
 
Create a new SDLTM with the fields you need. 
Import your aligned TMX and update them with the values you want.

Hi Paul 
When I read his first posting, I think the TMX in question does NOT contain the necessary data. So the culprit is adding that data to TMX quickly... 
However, I just noticed, that this can be done quite simple. 
Create a SDLTM, containing the necessary field. Import the TMX there. Then use the "Batch edit" task in Studio (TM view) to add the necessary value to the requested field. I think this is much easier than fiddling around with TMX and regex.
