Hi folks,
I have a very old TM from Trados 2007. I converted it into an sdltm file. However many segments have got wrongly coded somehow.
111
Also, I have a "mapping" table like this:
———————
1252
à|á|â|ã|ä|å|¸|æ|ç|è|é|ê|ë|ì|í|î|ï|ð|ñ|ò|ó|ô|õ|ö|÷|ø|ù|ú|û|ü|ý|þ|ÿ|À|Á|Â|Ã|Ä|Å|¨|Æ|Ç|È|É|Ê|Ë|Ì|Í|Î|Ï|Ð|Ñ|Ò|Ó|Ô|Õ|Ö|×|Ø|Ù|Ú|Û|Ü|Ý|Þ|ß
———————
1251
а|б|в|г|д|е|ё|ж|з|и|й|к|л|м|н|о|п|р|с|т|у|ф|х|ц|ч|ш|щ|ъ|ы|ь|э|ю|я|А|Б|В|Г|Д|Е|Ё|Ж|З|И|Й|К|Л|М|Н|О|П|Р|С|Т|У|Ф|Х|Ц|Ч|Ш|Щ|Ъ|Ы|Ь|Э|Ю|Я
———————
Is there any way to quickly replace CP-1252 chars with CP-1251 either by AHK script, or regex, or SDL AppStore app, or any other tool/method?
Thank you.

Open the TMX in CafeTran, use the multi replace feature.

Thank you for the tip. However I failed to find it in UI or Google. Could you please give further instructions where should look for it? Tab/button/section/command?

Thank you Nov 8, 2021

Can't open it so far. This is what I do:
1. Drag and drop TMX into CafeTran
2. Select 'Edit translation memory' (?)
3. Go to the QA-Word lists-Find and replace in target segments
4. Browse to... err... what? TMX again? Ok, browse the same tmx as in step 1.
After step 4, CT just freezes (with 'OpenJDK Platform binary' process running).
My tmx is 188396KB. Is it ok?

Save the list with the equal signs as an UTF-8 text file.

à=а
á=б
â=в
ã=г
ä=д
å=е
¸=ё
æ=ж
ç=з


Use this as replacement list.

Update Nov 10, 2021

Found another solution: the Batch Edit feature. Similar to CafeTran, you can add a list of replacements and execute them all at once.
