Hello,

A number of my clients assign projects in XTM (I use their license, and I do not have my own).
I prefer to work offline using CAT tool.

For memoQ, if vendor just download as .xlf, TM which are shown below each segment in XTM are shown in "Comment" in memoQ and no need to download TM as .tmx (in fact, there is nothing in .tmx).

Hello,

A number of my clients assign projects in XTM (I use their license, and I do not have my own).
I prefer to work offline using CAT tool.

For memoQ, if vendor just download as .xlf, TM which are shown below each segment in XTM are shown in "Comment" in memoQ and no need to download TM as .tmx (in fact, there is nothing in .tmx).

However, for Trados, if the vendor download .xlf file, where in Trados the TM will be shown? Is using Trados + XTM not convenient so much compared to using memoQ + XTM?

I use memoQ only so I do not know how it looks in Trados but one of my colleagues who is Trados user is eager to know, so I decided to ask here.

Thanks in advance for your help.

I also use the XLIFF files from XTM, and I have Trados, but I don't know the answer to your question. I asked about it, here:
https://www.proz.com/forum/sdl_trados_support/339137-where_how_does_trados_2019_show_alt_trans_from_xliff_files.html

I personally use OmegaT (with the Okapi filter plugin) to process the XTM XLIFF files, and I can confirm that OmegaT shows the alt-trans translations among the other fuzzy matches. OmegaT automatically extracts all the alt-trans translations to a separate TM, with the user ID "FromAlternate!", so if it does turn out that Trados doesn't show these matches, you could open the XLIFF file in a temporary OmegaT project, grab the autogenerated "alt" TMX from it, and import it into a Trados TM. I do use OmegaT but I can't *recommend* it because I don't use it in the usual way.

Samuel,

I do remember you when I posted question about XTM I or M segments can't be edited in memoQ!
Thanks so much for helping me again. I shall let my colleague know about OmegaT option but also follow the thread you kindly posted on Trados forum.
I can honestly say memoQ is better than Trados because many of my clients assign me projects in XTM.
