I have a question that is related to the MARTIF terminology file format:

Maxprograms has utility called Mtf2tbx.exe ("MARTIF to TBX Converter"). The version on my computer is from 2007. It formed part of a package called "MaxprogramsUtils-1.0-0.exe". It launches a file named "martif2tbx.jar". I could not get it to work (got programming related error messages).

I don't see this utility on the current Maxprograms website, but maybe it's included in Swordfish these days...?

Added: Trados Translation Workspace's TM format is a multi-file format, and one of the files is a file with the extension ".mtf", which is a binary file format that is entirely unrelated to MARTIF (as far as I can see). So, keep that in mind when you go hunting.

Thank you Samuel.

It was a relatively easy conversion. I deleted all lines that didn't contain "<term".

Then I replaced </term>\n<term> with a tab character.

That was all.
