Dear colleagues,
I received a beautifully complete 5-file Trados TM, but it is tmw format. I use Wordfast Classic 5.92 and Wordfast Pro 2.4.1 and would be able to live with either Trados tmx or txt format, but tmv throws me for a loop; could somebody please tell me how to convert this?
TIA and happy weekend, Susanne

Please note that if a colleague of yours is using the Freelance edition of Trados, he/she must have installed the languages that your TMW includes (Trados Freelance only supports five languages, which have to be selected at install time). ▲ Collapse

In theory, I would be able to help you with this, but this may well be not OK confidentiality-wise. You'd better ask your customer to do the conversion or at least get an expicit approval from him or her to do it with third-party help.
