Converters

TBX Resources is dedicated to helping you use the industry-standard TBX format with your terminological data. Here you’ll find tutorials and tools for using and converting to and from TBX.

In anticipation for the revision of the TBX, a converter is available at this link to converter a TBX file to the newest standard for testing purposes.

Before You Do Anything…

The utilities on our site require input to be in UTF-8. If your files are in UTF-16, you can convert them with the UTF-16 – UTF-8 converter.

MRC to TBX-Basic

Multipe Rows per Concept (MRC) is a human readable terminology file format. Instead of being written in XML, it is formatted in rows and tab-separated columns. MRC has the advantage of being editable in Excel or any other spreadsheet program. MRC can easily be converted to TBX-Basic using the utility on this site. As it is more common to use TBX-Basic than MRC in terminology interchange, we provide a conversion utility from MRC to TBX-Basic.  Below is a list of resources to get you started with using MRC and converting it to TBX-Basic:
