Wizard - TBX Properties

Use this sheet to specify the properties of the TBX file that is written.

Configuration

There are lots of different options on how to write a TMX file. Not every tool supports them all. This list lets you quickly select the properties set that are suitable for your tool. Possible values are:

Value	Description
Default	Exported file contains the default properties.
Minimal	Exported file contains only the required properties.

If your tool is not on the list, select Default or Minimal or set the properties manually.

File format

Specifies the character set that the file uses. Possible values are:

Value	Description
ANSI	Code page encoded. Each string uses the default Windows code page for the language of the string.
UTF-8	Unicode, UTF-8 encoded.
UTF-16, little-endian	Unicode, UTF-16 little-endian encoded.
UTF-16, big-endian	Unicode, UTF-16 big-endian encoded.
UTF-32, little-endian	Unicode, UTF-32 little-endian encoded.
UTF-32, big-endian	Unicode, UTF-32 big-endian encoded.
GB18030	Unicode, GB18030 encoded.

UTF-8 is the default value. TMX and TBX support only Unicode formats.

<header adminlang="en"/>

Properties checkboxes

The remaining checkboxes let you add some optional and custom properties into the export file. Possible values are:

Translation status	If checked, translation statuses are written into the file.
Invalidated	If checked, invalidated flags are written into the file.

These are available only when exporting from a project. When exporting from translation memory, these options are not available.

Translation value

Specifies how the translation element is written. Possible values are:

Value	Description
