Hi all,

I am experiencing a problem with WFP 3.
An agency sent me the TM provided by the client that was originally intended to be used with Trados.
The TM was converted by the agency into a .TMX file so that I could use it on WF (as I don't have Trados).
When I upload the TMX file into WF, it looks totally empty, but I know it is not.
What is the problem? How can I solve this situation?
Thank you in advance for your kind help.

Do you have the same locale in TMX as in a project (EN-GB, EN-US....)?

I do not understand a text: "When I upload the TMX file into WF,..."

TMX can be uploaded into Wordfast Anywhere (a web application www.freetm.com).

In WFP 3 is TM in same text file format like in Wordfast Classic. I do not use WFP3 for long time, I do not know if WFP3 convert automaticly TMX into TXT.

(In WFP4 and WFP 5 is database into which one have to import data from TMX.)

TMX can be converted into Wordfast text TM in Wordfast Classic or in Wordfast Anywhere or by WF2TMX.exe (very fast).

Some non-native English users use "upload" when they mean "load". Some native speakers do it, too.

I launched my old WFP3.4.6. In menu, in Translation Memory is an item New/Select TM.
In TM List: Create TM, Add TM, Edit TM, Remove TM, Export TM.

My last translated document was EN-CS. I click "Add TM", browse to RU-CS TMX. WFP3 shows me to languages Czech/Russian for source and Russian/Czech for target. I toggle the codes manually to RU-CS.

WFP3 converted TMX into TXT Wordfast TM with a right direction. New TM is in the same folder, where is TMX.

But: WFP warning me the language pair of the project do not match to language pair of imported TM. /Here are terms import and convert, too./

I created a new presentation, I simulated the "locale", wrong project, wrong language direction.

Thank you Apr 8, 2018

Hi everyone,

sorry for the late reply.
I was finally able to work on the translation because the agency sent me the TM as a .TXT file.
So problem solved... for now.
Thank you Milan for your kind offer via email anyway!
