Hello,

I have been sent several TMX files from the client to be imported into WF Pro5. For every one of them, however, I receive the error message "filexxxEN-DA.TMX is not a TMX file" although the file is labeled .tmx in the folder.

How can I import the tmx file properly? Do I perhaps need to convert it somewehre -and how- in order to convert it? Or did the client send me a file in the wrong format?

Manny thanks in advance for any help you may have.

Hi Emilie,

Try uploading to Wordfast Anywhere, then exporting back to Wordfast Pro.

This worked for us.
