Procedure Nov 20, 2009

Hi Nigel,
assuming you use Wordfast Classic, you need to convert the Wordfast TM (.TXT format) to a .TMX file then to import this .TMX file into your Workbench.

In the Wordfast toolbar, click on the TM editor icon, and then on Tools in the window that is displayed. This opens a second window, in which you have to select Export TM as TMX in the Special filters list. Click on Yes to answer the dialogue When exporting attributes...

You then have a .TMX file located at the storage place indicated in the last dialogue (click OK).

Export done.

To import it into Trados, open Workbench, create a new TM with your source and target languages, then click on File > Import > OK and browse to search your .TMX file. Click on Open to import it.

Import done.

HTH

PS: be sure to select TMX 1.1 as the file format for the importation step.

This thing with 1.1 was obviously an useless remark from my side - I selected 1.1 once and stayed with it, hence my comment.
