Hi Elizabeth Pajak 
 in order to import a TMX into an SDLTM in trados here would be needed to 
 1. create a new TM in trados studio . From the translation memory view in Trados studio please click on new and from there proceed with the steps from the wizard .It is quite important to make sure you create the TM in trados studio with the same language pairs and language flavors like the TMX. Once the TM is created it will be empty. 
 2. Please open the TM in TM view - and right click on it and select import then select the TMX received from your customer 
 For a step by step visual guidance please use the below link also

This Wiki was created for SDLXLIFF import but the process is the same so I am very confident it will help you . 
 At the following link you can also find the entire list of languages supported in Trados studio - https://www.trados.com/products/trados-studio/supported-files-and-languages.html

 Haitian Creole is not supported by Microsoft in their operating systems via the LCID references . Because of this Trados doesn't support it either. You may have read this article:

 The article is indeed about Google Translate, but the main theme is relevant for you. If you want to use this language in Trados Studio then you need to adopt a language that is, such as French-Haiti. This is a different language, but you can create your projects using this language and just "pretend" that it is Haitian Creole. That was the essence of the article. 
 So if you have received a TMX from your client that uses a language code for Haitian Creole, and that means it's based on something Trados Studio doesn't use, then simply edit the language code to be fr-HT instead. Then you will be able to use the TMX in a TM created by Trados Studio.
