A nice video has been made to show how to convert the Apple glossaries to TMX: http://youtu.be/t0720T11yU0?hd=1.
Of course CafeTran allows loading of TMX files as termbases, but for those who prefer the IMO more flexible tab-delimited glossary format, the Apple glossaries can be converted to tab-delmited easily:

Working with largish glossaries is a real pleasure in CafeTran. ▲ Collapse

Mac users only need AppleTrans to convert or consult the files. AppleTrans has been discontinued, but you'll be able to find a (free) copy.

| AppleTrans instructions for .lg glossaries | Dec 17, 2012 |

Can you provide step-by-step instructions on how to import the 500 or so .lg glossaries into AppleTrans and how to export imported entries to TMX?
I have AppleTrans 1.2. The Help file is empty ("Help book is under construction") and the software isn't particularly intuitive.

I'm not M.A. but here is my try:
1. Load all Apple glossaries as files (*.*) in free Xbench 2.9 (!).
2. Export as tab-delmited.
3. In CafeTran choose Library | Glossary | Add glossary.
4. Settings: Encoding: Windows, Source/Target seperator: TAB, Entries separator: Windows
5. Hit OK.
6. Load the glossary (1 sec for 115,000 items)
That's all.
Perhaps it can be done even easier, via TBX? No Xbench necessary then.

Yes, I know, see: http://youtu.be/DEaiQWBcspg
However, I expected better from someone who gave memoQ a mere three points in his review, arguing that:
mQ is a nice tool but it limits me to Windows. I don't want to be forced by a CAT tool to choose an operating system.
Now how come you don't feel Xbench "limits you to Windows and forces you to choose an OS" 
Anyway, I asked specifically for instructions related to AppleTrans, not about Xbench.

AFAIK Xbench is not a CAT Tool. Correct me if I'm wrong.
Seriously: I don't mind starting up Windows for one-time tasks. ... See more mQ is a nice tool but it limits me to Windows. I don't want to be orced by a CAT tool to choose an operating system.

Duh, since this is the CafeTran forum I'm entitled to sketch the CafeTran route, ain't I?
And like I said: I think the step with Xbench can be skipped, doing everything in CafeTran, or at least on the Mac side.
Thanks for your input! ▲ Collapse

| Apple glossaries in CafeTran | Dec 17, 2012 |
Hi all,
Inspired by the discussion in this thread, I made my first attempt to let CafeTran import/convert those Apple glossaries to the TMX memory. Today's update should make it possible. The steps to follow:
1. Run CafeTran and choose from the menu Memory | Import | Import Mac OS X glossaries...
2. Select the uncompressed folder containing the .lg files (the glossaries) and press OK.

3. In the TM options panel that pops up select your language pair (e.g. English -> Polish) and press OK.
4. After a few second all the glossaries should load into CafeTran's TM interface. Now, they are available for all the auto functions (fuzzy matching, concordance, autoassembly, autocompletion).
5. Choose from the menu Memory | Save as... to store the all the glossaries to the TMX file.
Currently, the feature is unlimited in the trial version of the program and will be a part of the December update.
Thank you guys for pointing me to these glossaries.

Thanks, Igor! In the end, I managed to do it with AppleTrans, but it was really tedious. Sounds like the latest CafeTran makes it much easier. It's a good idea to make it an unlimited feature in the trial version, as it will give people an incentive to try out CafeTran.

Is this version of CafeTran publicly available? [/quote]
Yes, it can be downloaded from http://www.cafetran.com/download.html. I've also pushed the SDLTM memories to TMX conversion/import into this build as an experimental feature. If everything goes well, the final release will be ready around Xmas.

Thanks Igor.
I'm not that much an Apple guy myself (big grin), but I can definitely see some use in this Apple glossary import feature .
It is nice to see how you get inspired by user's requests and how rapidly you can respond to these requests.
I'm very happy that I made CafeTran my #1 CAT tool  .

There is a free Apple iOS glossary here:

It's good if you need to localize basic system information on iPhone apps, as well as gestures like pinch and swipe. It's in 12 languages at the moment and a community project, so please contribute!

Hi Igor! I'm trying to import the Apple glossaries using CafeTran 8 years after you posted this comment but I got stuck on the very first step. I have the feeling that CafeTran's UI has changed and unfortunately, I was not able to find an alternative way to import the glossary. Could you help me?
