Hello,

I'm trying to import a TM done in Wordfast, following the procedures of creating a new TM and importing from Trados Workbench the txt file. It doesn't work at all. It shows no TU ! while there is more than 3000 TU in the Wordfast txt file.

Is there something special to have in mind while importing the txt file?

Thanks in advance.

A language issue, maybe?
