Can you tell me what to do in order to use xml and txt files as a TM. I suppose I have to convert them but I am not quite sure how should be done.
Thanks!

Interesting question...
Oct 21, 2014
Hi,
Translation Memories are at least bilingual. If you have XML files and TXT files then perhaps you can provide a little more context around this question? So for example:
the files contain a source language text and a target language text already, I just want to use these as a TM.
I have source files and separate target files, so I want to align them to create a TM.

I have source language files and need to translate them and add the translation to a TM.
I'm using SDL Trados Studio 2014... or some other tool.
There may be other possibilities, but a little more information from you would help us provide a better answer.
However please note that the version cited above is the 2009 version. Probabably some commands or menus might have change name/position in newer software versions.
I'm still searching for the xml feature but all the videos and documentation I found was not all that usefull. Will continue to search for a solution for you.
TMX Maker did a great job. Really simple and easy to use tool.
SDL Support, the xml files contain both the source and the target languages. I don't have to translate anything. I just need to import them as a TM file into Trados 2014.

If you just have to import it....

... do you mean that it's a TMX? If so just make sure the extension is TMX (have not tried to import it with an XML extension) and then switch to your Translation Memories View in Studio, select your Studio Translation Memory and then right-click and import.
Incidentally, now that we know the TXT you referred to was a Trados/Wordfast TXT TM, you might have been able to use the upgrade option in Studio to convert that to a Studio TM as well.
Regards
Paul
