Say you have an EN-JP TMX file and an EN-FR TMX where EN is shared between the 2 files.

To get an EN-FR-JP file that you can use in a JP-FR project you need to "smart merge" them.

The Okapi Framework doesn't have a solution on the Mac, the only possibility is to use the old .NET version of Olifant in a Window virtual machine: you open one of the files and import the other based on the contents of the EN segments. That's pretty fast.

Another solution is to use Maxprogram's new TMXEditor: import the TMX and consolidate the segments. I did not try because Rodolfo informed me of the feature after I completed the task in Olifant, but I'm glad we have such a feature on the Mac.

Rodolfo, if you want to add a comment about how it works, go ahead!

Just uploaded to YouTube a one minute video that shows how to merge and consolidate TMX files: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m3roAD67pcU 

The video is raw, unedited, but it gives you an idea of how simple the procedure is.

Regards,
Rodolfo
