CSVConverter is a free utility that converts glossaries stored in CSV (Comma Separated Values) to TMX (Translation Memory eXchange) standard.

TMX files generated with CSVConverter are compatible with all major CAT tools.

You can use CSVConverter to generate valid TMX documents from Microsoft Glossaries, Microsoft Excel, OpenOffice Calc or custom CSV files.

CSVConverter is included in Swordfish installers.

CSVConverter will be retired when Swordfish II becomes generally available.

Frequently Asked Questions

  1. What parameters are needed to convert Microsoft Glossaries?
    Handling Microsoft Glossaries usually require these settings:
    • Column Separator: a comma.
    • Text Delimiter: a double quote.
    • Character Set: UTF-16
  2. When I try to convert a file I get a message that says "The number of detected columns is not enough.". What can I do?
    Check the parameters selected for opening the file. The program cannot detect 2 or more columns and this is normally caused by wrong selection of column delimiters or character set.
