Dear Studio users,
A client is considering to use Transifex as their localization platform. Has anyone had experience with this platform? I am interested in knowing whether I can continue using Studio to translate their files if they do use Transifex.
Thank you.

Hi Chunyi,
I am Nina, engineer at Transifex.
Regarding your question, I would like to clarify that Transifex offers you the option to easily download a language file for offline translation. Please note that there is also the option to download a translation file in XLIFF format, as an intermediate format.
You can have an overall view of the currently supported file formats by visiting our documentation guide here: docs.transifex.com/.../
Please also note that you can use Transifex's Web Editor - docs.transifex.com/.../ - instead of offline translation, which offers auxiliary collaborator tools that can help you rapidly accelerate the translation process.
Furthermore, we offer Transifex Live in case of localizing a website. A natural benefit of it is higher rankings in global search engines (more information can be found here: docs.transifex.com/.../ ).
Transifex Live allows you to translate the site in context, giving you a live preview of how the finished translations will appear on the page. You can check how Transifex Live works here: docs.transifex.com/.../.
You can get more information about Transifex and our provided services, just by checking our website: https://www.transifex.com/
I hope that the above helps
Hi Nina Elefheriadou,
I could download files in XLIFF (xlf) and .md formats. However it does not give access to TMs. From other solutions I know that it is somehow possible. For example, when I download wsxz files from SDL WorldServer, the package includes a set of TMs that give even more suggestions as compared to when I work directly in WorldServer. Another example is Apsic XBench that allows me to connect a whole Transifex project using my Transifex credentials.
Is there any news after 5 years as to the Studio/Transifex compatibility? I mean is it possible to connect Transifex TMs to SDL Trados Studio 2021 so that I could not only have xlf files available for translation in Studio but also get access to TM(s) assigned to my task in Transifex, again directly in Studio?
Also, is there a similar Transifex community website for Transifex related questions?

Thank you Nina Elefheriadou for your reply.
I don't know why you get an error and why the reply option is not available to you, but your reply sounds useful.
I paste it here in case anybody need this information in the future:
- TMX export is an option in Transifex. More information can be found here: https://docs.transifex.com/translation-memory/downloading-a-tmx-file
- We do not have a direct integration with SDL but we do offer an API that allows users to integrate with other systems easily and automate the localization process. Our latest API can be found here: https://transifex.github.io/openapi/index.html#section/Introduction
- We do have a community :) You can join us here: community.transifex.com
Worth noting that the TM API from Transifex only seems to support uploading/downloading a TMX. So being able to interactively work with a Transifex TM in Studio doesn't seem to be anything you'll be able to do even if you found a developer interested enough to do it.
it's a pretty basic tool so I doubt there will be a lot of interest in this from the Studio userbase. Until now, in the last 5-yrs I only ever heard of this tool once.

Right you are. This is exactly why I want to use Studio instead.

Me either. However, if it was not this thread, it would take much longer time for me to come to this point (to know how to download a TMX file).

Unfortunately, true again. But at least I can download an xlf file and a tmx TM both compatible with Studio. Still better than nothing.
