Hi,

My client has sent me a trados 6.5 memory in text format.
I also have version 6.5, but when I import the text file into a new trados memory, Trados tells me that the import was successull but shows 0 segments imported, 0 segments read, etc.
The memory obviously isn't working, I should be finding matches but I'm not.
Any ideas?

Maybe a solution Jun 13, 2006

I have found that this usually occurs if I try to import with the setting "Small import file (no reorganisation)".
Have you tried using "Large impoort file (with reorganisation"?

already tried! Jun 13, 2006

Yes, Ulla, thanks for your reply. I have tried both ways and neither works. I really don't know what to try next. I have asked the client to send the trados version of the memory, but no reply....

check the language setup Jun 13, 2006

the difference between the text (EN_GB for instance) and TM (EN_US) can definitely be one of the possible causes for "0 records accepted."

Check languages and locales Jun 13, 2006

Hi,
This is often causd by a mismatch in languages and/or locales (typically, US English (EN-US) vs. Britisch English (EN-GB)). Check the import file against your TM settings.

HTH, Ralf

Here's some more... Jun 13, 2006

Check the TM settings for fields and attributes(in Project settings or in "File/Setup"). I'm still lost in this part of the TRADOS country but it could well be, that TM does not accept TUs with mismatched text fields and/or attributes.

And of course Vice versa...

By now I would have taken the txt file apart and create a bilingual something out of it... Kudos for patience;)

Thanks Jun 15, 2006

Hi everyone,

Thanks for all your suggestions, I have made a note of them in case there is a next time!
In the end I managed to persuade the customer to send me the .tmw version of the memory and it worked like a dream!
