I normally use Wordfast Classic and Trados 2009 Starter, but a client sent me files pretranslated in Trados 2007 (.doc-files) - that my Trados-version couldn't handle. Since WF Classic isn't very good with pretranslated files, I decided to use WF Pro.
Translating was easy, but now I need to deliver, and I haven't got a clue how to clean the files and send just that to the end-client + the TM.
(and yes, I've already spent a couple of hours searching the help-files without finding the solution)
Thank you for any quick fix to this problem: The end (of the deadline) is neigh!

Dear Hege,
I am not sure how you translated a Trados 2007 pre-translated documents in Wordfast Pro. This is possible on the condition that every segment is copy-sourced to the target.
Anyhow, to get the target document, go to File menu > Save Translated File.
To export a Translation Memory from WFP:
- Make sure that all your translated segments are committed to the TM by pressing Alt+End; now all the segments should appear in Violet (colour) or by cleaning-up the TXML file updating the TM.
- Go to Translation Memory (menu) > New/Select TM
- Click on Export (button)
- Form the *Local TM* dropdown menu, select the TM you want to export.
- From the dropdown menu *Export Type*, select *TMX Format*
- Browse to select the preferred location and name.
Now, they can *Import* this TMX TM into a Trados TM as long as both TMs have the same language variants. So you have to make sure which language variants are used in the Trados TM. If they are different from the one in your WFP TM, create a new WF TM with the correct language locales and clean up your TXML file(s) against it (before exporting it into the TMX format).
HTH,
Yasmin

i feel so clumsy with WF pro since it's one of my least favourite CATs - so I've only used it 2-3 times in the past.
