Dear All,

I appreciat your help on this.
I work on a translation that should be done in either Trados or WordFast, I only have WordFast. Now the agency wants to help me and sent me their TM as 5 files with endings iix, mdf, mtf, tmw plus one Autodesk MapGuide ActiveX Control. I cannot open them in WordFast so they are useless for me. Is it possible to do it?
Thank you very much for advice.

Dagmar

Those files are Trados own TM format that cannot be used with Wordfast. Ask them to send you a TM in TMX format or as uncleaned files.

and ask them to provide a tmx format. That doesn't seem to be much work - but you will be able to use the memory without any problems.
