So this is the culprit. Simply ask the customer to create mif files in the current version. MIF7 is not supported by Studio and on top it does not support Unicode, so using this for translation in 21st century isn't a good idea.

Well, you could go that way. But this would involve defining dozens of tags, which is unnecessary, as you can simply use current mif version.

 No, Adobe Framemaker is not mandatory. Maybe you need to use this setting?

Open the mif file in a text editor like Notepad++ and tell us the mif version stated there. Thanks.
