Thread: TM Exchange - Trados and Wordfast

How do you exchange TMs between Trados and Wordfast?

I do it with the Convert Format in Wordfast wich change TMW in TMX, but I think you can do it with trados too, like Export in New format.. I think..

Thanks! I'll try this way...

You can exchange any TM between CAT tools as far as it is saved under TMX format which is the standard for Translation Memories Interchange.

I've never done it but I will give it a try!

Hi guys,

Before exporting my Trados TM to TMX for Wordfast, three options appear: TMX 1.1, TMX 4, and another one which version I can't remember now.

What do you suggest I do? go for the newest or the oldest version?

thank you!

I'd rather go with the old version...you'll be able to open it with the newer version, but not the way around.

What's your experience when sharing TMs between Trados and Wordfast? I've been told that there are segmenting issues when trying to do so. If so, I´ve been wondering if there would be a way to go around it (like using standard settings in both applications).
