Introducción
En esta entrada explicaremos cómo transformar una memoria de traducción que esté en formato de texto tabulado a tmx utilizando tikal de Okapi Tools (http://okapi.opentag.com/). Con las herramientas de Okapi se pueden realizar infinidad de tareas relacionadas con la traducción y la localización, entre ellas la tarea que nos ocupa.
Recordemos que una memoria de traducción en formato de texto tabulado tiene el siguiente aspecto:
segmento_lengua_A tabulador segmento_lengua_B.
Si la lengua A es inglés y la lengua B es español este mismo segmento en TMX tendría el siguiente aspecto:
Esta transformación nos permitirá utilizar las memorias de traducción en herramientas de traducción asisitida.
Transformación con Tikal
Si ejecutamos tikal sin ningún parámetro adicioal nos muestra todas sus instrucciones:
Si nos fijamos bien (haciendo clic sobre la imagen se ampliará) existe una opción -2tmx que nos servirá para realizar la conversión a este formato. Si miramos bien los parámetros que nos pedirá veremos lo siguiente:
Además de indicar la lengua de partida (-sl) y la de llegada (-tl) será muy importante dar el valor adecuado al parámetro -fc que es el parámetro que controla el formato del ficher de entrada. Tenemos que darle un valor de entre la lista dfe valores posibles. Esta lista la podemos obtener escribiendo:
tikal -listconf
Que nos devolverá la lista de configuraciones:

La que nos interesa es:

Así pues, para realizar la conversión tenemos que escribir (si el fichero a transformar se llama corpus-ONU-eng-spa.txt):
tikal -2tmx corpus-ONU-eng-spa.txt -sl en -tl es -fc okf_table_src-tab-trg
Y el sistema realizará el proceso de conversió y escribirá:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Okapi Tikal - Localization Toolset Version: 2.0.23 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Conversion to TMX Source language: en Target language: es Default input encoding: windows-1252 Filter configuration: okf_table_src-tab-trg Output: corpus-ONU-eng-spa.txt.tmx Input: /D:/okapi/corpus-ONU-eng-spa.txt Done in 3.568s
El fichero transformado se llama corpus-ONU-eng-spa.txt.tmx
