Batch Export Glossary

Question

Hi There, 
 we're using Passolo 2018 (18.0.152.0) on multiple independent projects but with some similar vocabulary. 
 We want to create one gloassary per project and use these glossaries among all projects, so the translator does not need to download all projects to his machine. 
 To automate this we want to update the gloassaries automatically at night. 
 Question: 
 is there a possibility to export a gloassary file via pslcmd ? We did not find anything in the documentation. 
 
 Thank you

Hi Nina, yes, this is possible. We do this in our environment. We also merge all exported glossaries into one. So it is only needed to provide one glossary over all projects. I am not sure if this is the best clean solution, but will share it nevertheless: Fist, the macro that exports a glossary (and also a TMX file, we need both) of an active Passolo project. Add this to your Passolo installation Sub main Dim prj As PslProject Set prj = PSL.ActiveProject If prj Is Nothing Then Exit Sub Dim lang As PslLanguage For Each lang In prj .Languages ' Create the translation bundle Dim bundle As PslTransBundle Set bundle = prj .PrepareTransBundle Dim trn As PslTransList Dim i As Integer For i = 1 To prj .TransLists.Count Set trn = prj .TransLists (i) If trn .Language Is lang Then bundle .AddTransList (trn) End If Next i ' Make filename "test.tba/tbu" Dim filename As String filename = "" & prj .Name & "-" & lang .LangCode & ".glo" filename2 = "" & prj .Name & "-" & lang .LangCode & ".tmx" prj .Export "PASSOLO Glossary Maker" , bundle, filename, expAllDeleted prj .Export "TMX Export" , bundle, filename2, expAllDeleted Next lang End Sub I created a python script, that scans a folder for Passolo project files and calls the Macro for each project within a bat file: from os import listdir from os.path import isfile, join import subprocess lpufolder= "" batfilepath="passolocommands.bat" batfile = open(batfilepath, 'w+') batfile.write("cd \"C:\Program Files (x86)\SDL\SDL Passolo\SDL Passolo 2018\" ") onlyfiles = [f for f in listdir(lpufolder) if isfile(join(lpufolder, f))] for lpu in onlyfiles: if lpu.endswith(".lpu"): print(lpu) batfile.write("pslcmd.exe "+ lpufolder +"\"+lpu+" /runmacro=.bas /quit ") subprocess.Popen('powershell.exe C:\Jenkins\workspace\i18n_passolo_buenergy_glossaries\passolocommands.bat') Maybe this helps... Stay save. Markus
