The goal is that translate5 is able to directly import project packages from SDL Trados and reexport the corresponding return packages.

An SDL project package is simply a zip package with some folders, that contain:

• sdlxliff files
• sdltm files (which are sqlite DBs with a structure, that can be read and converted to TMX for an import into opentm2)
• termbases (which are MS Jet Dbs, that can be read and imported into Termcollections)
• an xml file with meta informations

All of this data can be read and imported in translate5.

For MS Jet under Linux this is a bit tricky, but can be done like described here:

The structure of a return package is the same, except that no TMs and termbases are contained and that the contents of the meta xml files are changed.
