TermBase eXchange (TBX) is an open XML-based standard that allows you to represent structured, concept-oriented terminological data in a database, which is known as termbase. Wordbee has implemented the latest version of this standard, known as TBX 3.0. This standard offers you the following benefits:
You can edit the TBX fields and define the structure of your termbase as you wish.
You can exchange terminological data between people, applications and systems, without worrying about the structure of your termbase or loss of information. For example, TBX files can be exported from Wordbee and imported in other translation and authoring environments that support the same standard.
TBX will help your translators and localizers maintain consistency and quality during the translation process, which eventually will lead to reduced localization costs and faster time to market.
In 2008, TBX was developed and published by the Localization Industry Standards Association (LISA), and by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) as ISO 30042. The latest version is available online as ISO 30042:2019 Systems to manage terminology , knowledge and content - TermBase eXchange (TBX).
