importing "bitexts" into TM

Question

Is there anyway to quickly import two-column files (in this case, in "bitext" format, created using Logiterm) into a Studio TM, without first converting them to another TM? 
 As I do this quite often, I'd like to basically do it "on the fly". 
 Thanks,

 This is only possible in Studio if you have a supported format, and bitext files are not supported. So you will have to convert first. 
 Having said that... you could use PowerShell to interact with the API for Studio and create a script that does that conversion automatically for you... that would be quite a neat solution and most likely fairly straightforward to do.

Converts the Bitext XML into a valid TMX file. Automatically detects source and target languages from the TMX. Prompts the user to confirm or update language codes. Creates an SDLTM in the same directory as the input file. Imports all TMX content into the new SDLTM. I only tested this with my simple file, but as a POC it seems useful:
