In Trados 2007 you can create a new TM just cleaning TTXs from different projects, no matter where they are (of course with the appropriate languages).

It is possible to do the same with Studio 2009?

Thank you

Yes, you can import SDLXLIFF or TTX Mar 28, 2011

You can import a TTX or a SDLXLIFF file directly into a 2009 TM (.SDLTM).

Hi Marie,

You can import as many SDLXLIFF, TTX, ITD, TMX (and SDLTM if you use the upgrade route) as you like. All of one type of file, or a mixture, just as long as you have the correct languages for the TM your are importing into.

Regards

Paul

Can you describe what you want to achieve? And what exactly "no work" for you? Which instructions do you mean? I can't see any instructions on this page.

Many years too late, but still an answer:

SDLXliff2Tmx
Current version is 1.1.3

Exports SDLXLIFF files to a TMX and optionally a Text file. SDLXliff2Tmx reads a number of Trados Studio Bilingual Files (*.sdlxliff) and creates a TMX Translation Memory (*.tmx) from the translated strings they contain. The user can select strings to be excluded, based on their status, being locked or having identical source and target segments and can optionally remove formatting information (tags). In addition the user can also save the exported strings in a tab delimited text file. Once installed, you can find SDLXLIFF2Tmx in your programs (All Programs-> SDLXliff2Tmx) where you will then load a stand alone app to work with outside of Trados Studio. A help guide is also included.

SLDXLIFF to SDLTM Mar 23, 2023

As far as I understand from the above, they want to import an sdlxliff file into a Trados TM, not tmx. If so, you can do it either from the Translation Memories view or from Project Settings-Language pairs-TM&AT or even Options-Language pairs-TM&AT. All of these locations have the Import button. You can import any number of sdlxliff files into an existing or a blank TM.

2. Open your TM, either existing or blank, for it to appear in the list
3. Click the TM in the list
4. Click Import
5. Browse to your sdlxliff file
6. Click Finish (or Next if you like clicking)
