Tools

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.

The utilities on our site require input to be in UTF-8.

TBX Validator

This tool allows you to check a file's validity as a well-formed TBX file or as conforming to a certain TBX dialect.

TBX Spyglass

The TBX Spyglass utility can be used to identify what version of TBX a file is, whether it is well-formed XML, and (if it is TBX v3) which dialect it claims to be.

   Use the TBX Spyglass

TBX v2 -> v3 Converter

The TBX Converter takes in a TBXv2 document instance and generates a TBXv3 document instance that is valid according to the latest revision of ISO 30042, all while maintaining the terminological information contained in the document.

Base64 Converter

The Base64 Converter is useful for converting image files into base64 (an encoding scheme of printable characters that can compactly represent complex data, like images). This can be extremely useful for embedding images directly into a TBX file as visual figures, which this tool also helps you do. In order to view these figures, your TBX viewing agent will need to interpret the base64 embedding.

TBX Viewer

The TBX Viewer is a web application which lets you open and view a TBX file directly in your browser. It is intended as a quick and easy way to view the contents of a TBX file, without the need to learn or know XML.
