TMX(Translation Memory eXchange) files in python
python-3.x, pytmx, tmx
Solution
As @hurrial said, you can use translate-toolkit.
Install
This toolkit is only available using pip. To install it, run:
pip install translate-toolkit
Usage
Assume that you have the following simple `sample.tmx` file:
<tmx version="1.4">
<header
creationtool="XYZTool" creationtoolversion="1.01-023"
datatype="PlainText" segtype="sentence"
adminlang="en-us" srclang="en"
o-tmf="ABCTransMem"/>
<body>
<tu>
<tuv xml:lang="en">
<seg>Hello world!</seg>
</tuv>
<tuv xml:lang="ar">
<seg>اهلا بالعالم!</seg>
</tuv>
</tu>
</body>
</tmx>
You can parse this simple file like so:
>>> from translate.storage.tmx import tmxfile
>>>
>>> with open("sample.tmx", 'rb') as fin:
... tmx_file = tmxfile(fin, 'en', 'ar')
>>>
>>> for node in tmx_file.unit_iter():
... print(node.source, node.target)
Hello world! اهلا بالعالم!

Problem
Is there a module for handling TMX(Translation Memory eXchange) files in python, if not, what would be another way to do it? As it stands, I have a giant 2gb file with French-English subtitles. Would it be possible to even handle such a file or would I have to break it down?
