s there a munite solution before I ask client to change file type?

or is FrameMaker or Adobe product mandatory to process these types?

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

Thank you so much Paul, I really appreciated it.

I ticked the option (as in screenshot) and relaunched Studio,

but when I tried to convert the file to the sdlxliff with right click or newly load the file, it still looked like this..? (or maybe restarting the computer?)

thank you so much,

Sara

I wonder if your default project template is different?  Can you make sure that the default also has this option set?

File -> Setup

If the problem is still there would you be able to share the file with me?  At least that way we could rule out a file problem.

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

Helo Jerzy,

many thanks for reaching out, it said

OK, this comes to my mind,

if notepad can read these files - how about if I simply save them as .txt, and after translation just change the identifier back to .mif again - could this be the answer? that saves my day! thank you so much!

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.

Hi there, can I Save As *.mif in Trados? It seems not possible though:

No, because your source format was NOT mif. You used txlf as source, so this is the format you can create as target. Your mif can only be created in the tool, which converted it from the source.
