Hi Elizabeth Pajak

in order to import a TMX into an SDLTM in trados here would be needed to

1. create a new TM in trados studio . From the translation memory view in Trados studio please click on new and from there proceed with the steps from the wizard .It is quite important to make sure you create the TM in trados studio with the same language pairs and language flavors like the TMX. Once the TM is created it will be empty. 

2. Please open the TM in TM view - and right click on it and select import then select the TMX received from your customer 

For a step by step visual guidance please use the below link also 

https://community.rws.com/product-groups/translationproductivity/w/customer-experience/3354/how-to-create-a-translation-memory--after-you-have-finished-a-translation-without-using-an-enabled-tm . This Wiki was created for SDLXLIFF import but the process is the same so I am very confident it will help you .

At the following link you can also find the entire list of languages supported in Trados studio - https://www.trados.com/products/trados-studio/supported-files-and-languages.html 

Best regards, 

Loredana.

wow..

Trados Studio supports "Haitian Creole" ?

Should you still have problem even after following Ana LG's nice tip

Try to "Find and Replace" tmx's language part(s) with whatever text editor and import it  

HC is not one of the listed langs in Trados. I've seen talk of using a plugin as a work-around, but those all referenced using google translate.

Haitian Creole is not supported by Microsoft in their operating systems via the LCID references.  Because of this Trados doesn't support it either.  You may have read this article:

https://multifarious.filkin.com/2017/07/08/12-million/

The article is indeed about Google Translate, but the main theme is relevant for you.  If you want to use this language in Trados Studio then you need to adopt a language that is, such as French-Haiti.  This is a different language, but you can create your projects using this language and just "pretend" that it is Haitian Creole.  That was the essence of the article.

So if you have received a TMX from your client that uses a language code for Haitian Creole, and that means it's based on something Trados Studio doesn't use, then simply edit the language code to be fr-HT instead.  Then you will be able to use the TMX in a TM created by Trados Studio.

on 2nd thought

something quite strange

that language has no position on (Current) International Standard

so, I guess, it is not possible to make ordinary ".tmx" file, because there is no Language code for it

right ?

There is no language code that Microsoft or Trados will use as I explained below.

But there are language codes for it with other systems.  ISO 3166 for example uses HT and HTI for the 2 and 3 letter codes for Haiti.  ISO 639-2 uses HAT and ISO 639-1 uses HT for Haitian; Haitian Creole.

  Elizabeth Pajak mentioned her client sent her an HC TMX file which is none of the codes used so far in our examples, so this is either because she meant HC as her own abbreviation for Haitian Creole or her client used some other system.  It's not unheard of for tools to use their own custom codes that are supported in their own applications.

For Trados Studio the solution is simple.  Edit the TMX so the language code used is something Trados Studio can work with.  If French-Haiti isn't a language used elsewhere then it seems a good choice for this exercise and you would use fr-HT in the TMX.

how about "Any TM" ?

I do not have much knowledge about what's going on within AnyTM though, it sounds very nice "Any"..

This is my last call

Thanks for nice info.
