I have this problem repeatedly. When importing to WFPRO5 my TM's from WFC or aligned in WF anywhere, most of those TM don0t import properly, they appear empty and the program throws a message "0 (zero) TU's have been imported". I have checked and corrected align results in Excel (because usually, it needs some work) before passing it to .txt.

I have this problem repeatedly. When importing to WFPRO5 my TM's from WFC or aligned in WF anywhere, most of those TM don0t import properly, they appear empty and the program throws a message "0 (zero) TU's have been imported". I have checked and corrected align results in Excel (because usually, it needs some work) before passing it to .txt. I have used Olifant to convert such Excel into .txt and then into tmx (txt being saved as Unicode-8). The thing is that sometimes it works perfectly, but there is no action on my side for that to happen, just "luck". The common feature of TM's not importing correctly is that the TUs in the .txt file are not displayed correctly (they are lengthier and go even to the next line of the txt file, when every TU should begin with the date and time and no TU should go beyond one line of txt). I have checked language pairs, tags, etc. but cannot make it work. Help please! I cannnot use most of my TMs which work totally fine if uploaded to WFC. ▲ Collapse

Empty TM when importing into WFPro 5. Message "0 TUs have been imported" Mar 18, 2019

Hi
have you checked the language codes of the tmx you want to import and of the TM you want to import to?
