Hello,

I understand you're trying to work with Wordfast Pro bilingual files (.txlf) in Trados Studio 2021. While Trados Studio does not natively support .txlf files, you can use a workaround by converting the .txlf files to a format that Trados Studio can handle, such as .sdlxliff or .ttx.

Here's a step-by-step guide on how to do this:

Step 1: Open your .txlf file in Wordfast Pro.

Step 2: Go to the "File" menu and select "Save Translated File As".

Step 3: In the dialog box that appears, select the file type as .ttx or .sdlxliff.

Step 4: Save the file.

Step 5: Now, you can open this newly saved file in Trados Studio.

Please note that this method might not be perfect and some formatting or tags might not be transferred correctly. Always double-check your files after conversion.

I hope this helps! If you have any other questions, feel free to ask.

Best regards,

I can see the .txlf option but the files are not being recognised - any ideas?

ok - I need to be able to mark up one of your threads as a verified solution so I'll use this one as the other one is a different topic you piggy backed onto.  The solution was this:

Okay!! I have done it!! For some reason, when my computer crashed it reset how files are saved by default - they were listed as Wordfast Pro files but the icon was showing as a Memsource file - so I…
