Hello,

I have been working with Wordfast Classic for years. I have recently installed Wordfast Pro. I managed to convert my .txt TMs to .tmx using WF Anywhere, and I was hoping to use the same .tmx in both Classic and Pro. Am I being unreasonable? Classic *should* support .tmx format according to the brief. However, Classic sees the converted .tmx files as empty - 0 TU. (WF Pro at least understands that they are not).

Hello,

I have been working with Wordfast Classic for years. I have recently installed Wordfast Pro. I managed to convert my .txt TMs to .tmx using WF Anywhere, and I was hoping to use the same .tmx in both Classic and Pro. Am I being unreasonable? Classic *should* support .tmx format according to the brief. However, Classic sees the converted .tmx files as empty - 0 TU. (WF Pro at least understands that they are not).

I have absolutely no idea how to make Classic cooperate and I really want both to use the same TM.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you

I would use Xbench Sep 28

Xbench is now free, it can open WF TM and export it as TMX, very reliable.

Do you mean version 3.0? I cannot find any mention of a free version (other than the legacy version 2.9)...

Thank you for your suggestion. I tried it with the free legacy version, but I can't for the life of me find where Xbench exported the TM. The user guide is of no help either. Xbench seems to be quite counter-intuitive when you have never worked with it before, so maybe I did something incorrectly. I got the message that export was successful, I just can't find it. There was never a prompt asking where it should exported and there is no folder with a name suggesting it was exported there. As a last resort, I initiated a computer-wide search for *.tmx files, but the converted TM was not among the search results.

Thank you. Some of the links no longer work but I was able to download WFconverter. What a beautifully simple and useful tool! Unfortunately, it didn't solve my problem, and Classic still sees the converted .tmx as empty (0 TUs) - I tried a different TM this time, in case my first TM was corrupted, but the problem doesn't seem to be in the TMs, but rather in WF Classic itself.

I tested Wf2Tmx.exe and Heartsome TMX Editor for import WFC TM to "Wordfast PlusTools" Sep 30

Control the encoding for input and output Tools/CAT. WFC has Unicode (UTF-16). Standard for TMX is UTF-8, but sometimes is UTF-16 (UTF-16LE, UTF-16BE). Export TMX file from CAT you want import TMX. Some errors in TMX can be repair by Heartsome TMX Editor.
