Wordfast Anywhere and Trados TMX files

Hi, you all.

I thought I check WFA out and I learned that it won't take Trados TMX files. But there is Olifant, so I converted the bilingual Trados TMX file in a Wordfast TM file, a text file.

I did the following:

1) Opened Wordfast Anywhere Configuration
2) Clicked on TMs: Use my TMs and glossaries and on Setup
3) Clicked on upload, and chose that Wordfast TM file, the text file that I just created from Trados TMX file with help of Olifant
4) I click on submit
5) Wordfast Anyway provides me with an Upload report: Total added TUs 2700.
6) I klick on close, OK and Close.

7) And no text appears in the text pane, but on top it tells me in green letters: Translation memory DE-DE>EN-US jan27:2700 translation units

What did I do wrong? I don't see any text.

The ideal case would be that this file with the 2700 transl. units opens in the text pane and that I can use WFA as I can use WF Classic.

Please help me out.

Best regards
Pristine

Are you sure about that?

You need to upload the document you want to translate. This is done via File > Upload document file. You can upload any document as long as the format is supported (the list is quite long).
