TMXValidator

Check the validity of your TMX documents on Windows, Linux or macOS with TMXValidator.

Most CAT (Computer Aided Translation) tools rely on TMX (Translation Memory eXchange) standard to exchange translation memory data. Unfortunately, some tools produce files that are not valid and others do not accept correctly formatted TMX documents.

TMXValidator validates your documents against the TMX DTD and also verifies that they comply with the requirements described in the TMX specifications.

TMXValidator supports TMX versions 1.1, 1.2, 1.3 and 1.4.

The source code of TMXValidator was originally published on SourceForge at https://sourceforge.net/p/tmxvalidator/code.

The original version of TMXValidator loaded the TMX file into memory for validation. Validation of very large TMX files was limited by the amount of available memory.

This version of TMXValidator does not need to load the whole file into memory and has no size limitation.
