Hello! Hope you can help.

Although it should in theory be easy to convert TMs from tmx to txt, during the conversion process, I get a long list of warning messages, here's a sample:

***warning*** TU 115 contains tabulation
***warning*** TU 115 contains tabulation
***warning*** TU 117 contains tabulation
***warning*** TU 117 contains tabulation

I also tried using various TMs preconverted from .tmx to .txt by the project manager, but after adding the TM, I get this:

"The following error occurred: [url removed] \Users\(etc).txt failed to connect. Translation memory header is invalid. Please note that this TM will be disabled."

I am therefore unable to use any reps let alone access anything saved by other translators which makes it difficult to work with some agencies, is there a way to solve this?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Kind regards,

Isabelle
