How to Export a Wordfast Translation Memory as tmx for Trados ImportThis major function deserves a more prominent place in Wordfast's interface. However, in the latest version (5) you need to do a bit of detective work, or if you are lucky enough, find the answer with an Internet search (I guess since you found this post, you belong to the latter category)!

Wordfast 5 Use the
TM/Glossary editor > Tools > Special filters > Export to TMX.
For example by pressing
Alt+M, and clicking on the
Tools icon on the top right.
Wordfast 4 Click the

OK in the first dialog box, select the
