Hi,
I am new to using Wordfast Anywhere and am happy with it so far. But there is one thing I haven't been able to figure out and that is how to export my TM from WFA.

Is there anybody who can help me with that?

Kind regards,
Catharina in Copenhagen

What about exporting a TM from a TM server with Wordfast Anywhere Jan 24, 2013

Hi there,

To follow up on the question above from Catharina, the answer given by Michael seems to work indeed for our own TM - but what about for TM's uploaded from a server?

The Set-up option does not seem to give a download option as it does for our own TMs.

The truth is I am totally new to Worfast Anywhere and just trying to use it to download a TM from a client using Wordfast - I have the url to the client's server but can't seem to be able to view the

The truth is I am totally new to Worfast Anywhere and just trying to use it to download a TM from a client using Wordfast - I have the url to the client's server but can't seem to be able to view the TM, let alone to export it/ download it to use it.

I hope it makes sense and thanks in advance for the help!

You can only download a TM that has been created or uploaded by you, to your own account. If you were given a URL pointing to a remote TM hosted on your client's server, you can't download it. You can only use it in Wordfast Anywhere (or Pro).

Wordfast Anywhere wasn't designed for that purpose. It's meant to translate stuff, not as a way to download a TM from your client's server. If you want to obtain that TM, you'll have to ask your client.

My Client's TM is from Trados Mar 3, 2019

Hi.
I have a client who wants me to do a translation using her TM and at the end of the job give her the memory. Her TM is in Trados. My doubts are as follows:

1. Can I import the client's TM for wordfast anywhere?

2. Is it possible to pass the memory to her at the end of the translation?

3. If yes, how can I do it?

Can anyone here help me, please?

It seems to be impossible now that Wordfast was changed to "Projects" Jun 22, 2022

There isn't really an option File > TM's & Glossaries > TM Setup > Download

Or am I wrong?

The solution to this is generic to many tools. Ask them to send the TM in the .tmx format, very easy to import in just about all CAT tools. If they don't want to bother with that, you'll get a TM in .sdltm format.
If you're on PC, download this free tool (direct download link) https://www.wordfast.net/zip/WfConverter.zip it's called wordfast converter and will convert the .sdltm in .tmx that you can then upload to Wordfast Anywhere.

Once you're done with your translation, from you project view, tick the boxes in front of the files you worked on. Then go to File-Download. Select "TM from Document", this will extract a TM created from this file only. Then in a following window, select "Standard TMX format". Once you get the .tmx, you can send it to your client, it's very easy for them to import it.

Once you know how to do it, these steps don't take long.

Hope this helps
