Never been a fan of Trados, and from what I've just seen, my opinion won't change soon.
I am trying to create a project with a .tmx provided by the client, can't import the .tmx when I create the project, can't open it under "Translation memories" either.
Has anyone else been through this?

Hi Daniel,
I am quite certain Paul Filkin or another user under the "official" RWS ProZ.com profile or else, some other main RWS dude, or else, Trados experts from among the general pro translator community here on the site will help you out with this with some relevant advice that might already cut it, actually.
Here is what you could do in the meantime:
- You could upgrade the TM that you import the TMX into prior to importing. To do so, go to Project Set... See more Hi Daniel,
I am quite certain Paul Filkin or another user under the "official" RWS ProZ.com profile or else, some other main RWS dude, or else, Trados experts from among the general pro translator community here on the site will help you out with this with some relevant advice that might already cut it, actually.
Here is what you could do in the meantime:
- You could upgrade the TM that you import the TMX into prior to importing. To do so, go to Project Settings in the main view or Editor view (actually, it exists in just about any view of Studio as it's always there on the left-hand side of the Get Started ribbon) - Translation Sources - select Upgrade TM in regard to the highlighted TM you wish to upgrade from within the project's translation sources under All Language Pairs -> Translation Memories and Machine Translation and then there the sub-window in the center of the screen where your TMs for the job are listed. You will find this upgrading option as a button on the right-hand side of the screen under >> .
- You could ask the question you have posted in the RWS Community - Translation Productivity forum - RWS Trados Studio sub-forum, possibly after briefly registering as a community user. It is freely available to all Trados users and the support is free of charge, comes reasonably fast (do expect miracles there, by all means, as long as they are reasonable ones and you get your communication right) and it ROCKS - most days of the week. On some days, it doesn't, but that's really just another case of the same old "It is what it is" type of thing. Some you win, some you lose, and some get rained out.
Best regards.

I encountered the exact same problem today.
Solution:
Create a new TM in your project.
In this empty TM, you can import the tmx in project settings > Translation

This functionality was removed at the release of Trados 2021. You can recover it by installing SDL Trados Compatibility and Migration Power Pack.
Now your Translation Memories pane looks like this:
Once you have the plugin installed, it will look like this:

Do I understand correctly? By default, updating existing TMs with TMX files is disabled and you need to install a plugin to make that work? TMX files can only be imported in new blank TMs? How convoluted. Does TMX export work at least (with no plugins)?
When did TMX file format become legacy… Why?
This is amazing. A small step for [fill in blank] and a big step for interoperability. Not…

No, you don’t necessarily have to create a blank TM. You can import tmx into an existing TM of course. But the topic starter mentioned that he created a new project from scratch. Probably this is why he was advised to create a blank TM. Or probably because the advisor is not aware of other methods. But this is just one method among others, not the only one.

Like all other tools that do not work with tmx directly (other than Cafetran, OmegaT, etc), Trados processes tmx as a TM exchange format to convert TMs into its own generic format sdltm. memoQ works exactly the same way: you have to import tmx into memoQ TM. So does Deja Vu, Wordfast, Fluency Now and other tools that do not use tmx directly.
Actually, there was a dedicated button (Upgrade TM) in earlier versions of Trados to convert tmx into sdltm. (Wordfast offers a similar feature in the form of a separate WfC file that converts Wordfast—Trados TMs.) But the button was removed in version 2021, because there are 3 or 4 other places within Trados where you can do exactly the same.
