Hi Silvia Gentili,

This file type definition is to be found in the AppStore. I will include it in this post but for future reference, here's how you would use the AppStore in this case:

https://appstore.sdl.com/language/app/file-type-definition-for-wordfast-txml/247/

Click on the green 'download' button.

Log in or sign up using your SDL account ID & password. Then select 2017 here:

and tick the 'I agree..' box,

Then click 'Continue' and the plugin will be downloaded to your usual downloads folder. Then go to that place and double-click the icon.

I've attached it here, zipped:

Sdl.Community.FileType.TXML.zip

Right-click on it in your downloads folder and select 'Extract...' or 'unzip' similar.

Double left-click on the blue icon to install the plugin.

If you have any problems installing it or getting it to work, you should be able to get help here:

Let me know if there is any reason you can't use these links... 

All the best

Alison :)

Sorry to hijack a 3 year old thread, but that plug-in doesn't work in Studio 2021, and there's a workaround that I found to open WordFast files https://technolex.com/tips/how-to-translate-txlf-wordfast-files-in-trados-studio/ but I can't save it as a WordFast file in that case, and I of course need to return a WordFast file as well. So what's the procedure for that? Again, the plugin does nothing.

It works for me.  I've just been testing it for something else.  I suggest you open a new thread and explain what your problem is.

I could open a new thread, but I can't explain the problem except for it doesn't work. There's no error message, it just does nothing. I can't import it in a project (unless I use the workaround) and I can't save it as a .txlf file either. It's like it does nothing.

Richard Jacobs

Sorry... I was thinking about TXML.  Apologies.

For TXLF the solution is exactly as described.  That's not a workaround, it's a feature of the software to support other XLIFF formats.

But how do you save it as a TXLF file? Because I don't see that option and I of course need to return the same file format.

Richard Jacobs

You just save the target file in the same way you would save any target file.

But that saves as a .sdlxliff file, and I need it to save as a .txlf file. 

Edit: Never mind, I found it. I need to save as Target. Pffff. So out of curiosity, what does that plugin do?

It's for TXML as the title of the thread.
