Hello,
I want to import a translation memory into CafeTran (format: *.csv), but it doesn't seem to work. This is what I do: after pressing the 'open memory' button at the bottom, I select the TM file. However, it is not shown in the place I have circled yellow (which is where I expect it to be) or is it active when I start translating.
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks for your help!

The normal file format for a TM is TMX. Some tools like Wordfast indeed use CSV. You can try to load Wf TMs via:
But I guess that you'll have to convert it to tab-delimited first.
So my advice would be:
Open (import) the CSV in MS Excel.
Import the Excel file (see the image for the appropriate menu item).
