Hello. an outsourcer has offered me to do a technical translation. He would provide the TM that I should update while translating, only that the TM is, among others, a TMW file. I don't have Trados, and Wordfast cannot open it..I also know that the +tools can convert files, but since I can't open the file, it does not work too.Any suggestions? Thankyou in advance

You can use anotter TM editor Jan 10, 2006

Here is example of using Xbench:

Hi,

You should ask your client to export the TM to TMX format. Wordfast can import TMX files.

Good luck,
Dan

Dear Milan,

This is not an example but a screenshot.
XBench cannot open Trados TMW files, so your example is useless.

Rgds,
