How to read a segment in a TMX file? Example at: Translation Memory eXchange - Wikipedia
Input: “Hello world!”
Output: “Bonjour tout le monde!”
It’s easy to get the English segment for instance via a Prompt with list. But how to get the next or the n+3 paragraph?
Broadly, JavaScript for Automation, using the NSXMLDocument interface.
You would need to show us a longer sample of the XML to clarify what
n+3", andparagraph"actually mean, concretely.
(The linked snippet only has one pair of terms)
If a larger TMX file just has, for example, a longer chain of <tu\> units, then you may be able to extract a JSON Array version in this pattern:
[
{
"en": "Hello world!",
"fr": "Bonjour tout le monde!"
},
{
"en": "spring",
"fr": "printemps"
}
]
and then extract the parts you want with Keyboard Maestro's JSON substring notation:
