Hello to everyone,
I'm wondering if you can briefly expliain the TM compatibility of Wordfast Pro with Wordfact Classic and Trados 7 (both import and export). Thank you very much.

Hello Cinzia,
the compatible element between those three CAT tools is the .TMX (Translation Memory eXchange) file, that they all can generate, read and use.

So Wordfast Pro cannot read or export TTX-files?
If it could I would change in a heartbeat...

Files WF Pro can open/read:
- DOC, INX, PPT, TXML, XLS
(that's at least what the selection window says when you are about to search for a file in order to open it).
Sorry...

In addition to file types listed above, File > Open in Pro 2.2.2 also shows ASP, DOCX, HTML, JSP, and XLSX if you click the drop-down after the File name drop-down. Also, if you define a custom text format under Edit > Preferences > click Formats under Filters > New button > select Text based Filter, the file type you define will also appear in the list of formats in the drop-down. For example, if you add an XML filter, then XML will appear in the drop-down.

| | Thanks, guys | Sep 18, 2009 |
Still, the way the translation market is today, if it can't at least export ttx-files the software is not going to help me. This is why I had to give up DVX too.
Sad, but true.
I wish some smartypants could come up with really great conversion software or some program that reads and exports all the Trados files. Even if it was half the price of Trados it would be so worth it.

What do you call "Trados files"? To my knowledge, there are surprisingly few pure, proprietary Trados formats. And Heartsome or Swordfish (among others, I hope) will make your .TTX files "rock"... Admittedly only after a conversion to standard .XLIFF (TTX>XLIFF>target text in TTX).

I mean TTX and TMW files. Trados is (usually) great, but it is a cumbersome program and it lacks finesse as well as stability when translating difficult files (for instance converted pdf-files). It is also INSANELY expensive. That's why I am trying to see if there is an alternative to it that my clients will accept. I am also hating the fact that I am stuck with this program without having a choice.
Does converting ttx files really work with all kinds of files? Including converted pdf's? What about Trados TM's? Is the conversion really cumbersome? What about analysis like you can do in Workbench, is that possible in Wordfast?
I have never heard of Swordfish before, info is appreciated.

You can find info here: http://www.maxprograms.com/products/swordfish.html
BTW, Swordfish fully supports TXML files from Wordfast PRO.

| | ttx in 2.2.4? | Nov 22, 2009 |
Dear Krystyna,
not the one released just the other day (2.2.4)? But I'm eagerly looking forward to it!
This week, I even got a tmw file from a client, would this be supported to?

| | WF Pro 2.3: imports TTX but exports TXML? | Mar 23, 2010 |
As far as I can tell, a TTX loaded into Wordfast Pro 2.4 still wants to be saved as a .txml file, which can't be loaded back into my agencies' TagEditor. Can it not be saved as a ttx file?
330 euros now is it? At that rate of inflation, give it two or three years and it will be the same price as a Trados group buy and I'll have to look for a cheaper alternative again.
