How do you deal with the sdltm file? Any way to open it directly or to import it in a previously created TM?
Is there any alternative or is it the best to follow Dominique's advice:
About .sdltm: it's the native format of translation memories in Studio. If you need to use such a TM outside Studio (eg. in Wordfast), the easiest would be to ask your client to export it to the TMX format. If this can't be done, there's a new script made by Thomas van Nellen that will do the conversion for you. Very easy to use: just drag & drop the .sdltm on the script in Windows Explorer, and you will eventually get a TMX with the same name in the same folder as the .sdltm. If the TM is big, the conversion can take some time, but my guess is that most project-related TM's sent out to translators for reference are not that big.
