Thanks for the tip, Philippe...
Here's my question in English.
I started translating a rather large project with the source files sent to me in both XLF format as in TTX format. Since I am currently working with Deja Vu (I have just started working with CAT Tools) I am translating/ working with the XLF files in my Deja Vu.
The client, however, expects the resulting translation to be deliverd in TTX, and I do not have trados.
How can I do this?

ask the client to convert source into TTX
then, pretranslate it forcing 100-% matches using your CAT-tool

Source is in TTX, problem is my CAT Tool can upload TTX, but cannot seem to open the files? I get blan files in Deja Vu project

| You will need to use TRADOS 2007 (demo) for segmenting the TTXs | Jun 30, 2015 |
I process TTX files with DVX3 at least once per week. The only thing you need is the demo version or TRADOS 2007, which I have available and would gladly share with you.
This is my work flow:
-Use the Translator Work Bench (TWB) part of TRADOS 2007 for creating an empy TM.
-Go to Tools>Translate, add the files to process and, very IMPORTANT, check the "Segment unknown sentences" box.
-Click on the "Translate" button
This way you will get biling... See more I process TTX files with DVX3 at least once per week. The only thing you need is the demo version or TRADOS 2007, which I have available and would gladly share with you.

This way you will get bilingual and fully segmented TTX files, which are what DVX3 is expecting for.
When importing then into DVX3, don't forget to uncheck the "avoing segmentation" box in the "Properties" tab.
