Hi Dominique,
That’s exactly what I am looking for :). However, when trying to download the Wfconverter I get a message saying “file with false identification” et the file is not downloaded. What can I do about it ?
Thanks in advance for your kind help
best regards

Hi Véra,
It’s most likely caused by your anti-virus, which (falsely) detect WfConverter.exe as a suspicious program. I just checked and I was able to download the zip file, extract WfConverter.exe from it and run the program without problems. You’ll have to instruct your anti-virus to ignore the files in question.
Cheers,
DominiDominique

You’re right Dominique! It works great if I cut Avast on my computer.
Thanks for your help

Glad to hear your problem is now sorted, and hopefully WfConverter will serve your needs! It is perfectly safe to use it, no matter what Avast says!

Hi Dominique,
I tried WfConverter with an SDLTB file and got the error “Either BOF or EOF is true or the actual dataset has been deleted. The called operation needs an actual dataset.”
Any hints?
Kind regards
Josef

Your best bet would be to contact the author of WfConverter.

Hi! I get an error message: “Could not retrieve data. Error [11]: The database disk image is malformed. “SELECT * FROM translation_units”: database disk image is malformed.”
Do you have any idea of how I proceed with this? The size of the TM is 284 600 kB.
Kind regards,
Elisabeth

If WfConverter doesn’t work with that particular TM, I’m afraid you will need to use another converter, for instance <a href="http://www.vannellen.com/fortranslators.php" rel="nofollow">the one made by Thomas Van Nellen</a>.

Okay, but the TM is really big and you said that this solution was more appropriate for big TMs. And by the way, the link to Van Nellens converter does not work, so I cannot find it. Could you please post an updated (working) link here in the commentary field?

Just google “van nellen sdltm” and this should point you to the page. It is on http://www.vannellen.com anyway.

Hi Elisabeth,
I was having trouble finding the Van Nellen converter, as well, and it turns out the “Download” link is just a button on this page: http://www.vannellen.com/fortranslators.php
It’s right above the “Frequently Asked Questions” section and very much hidden. I must have spent a good 10 minutes looking for how to download it.
By the way, there is another advantage of Van Nellen’s converter: because it’s written in Java, it’s cross-platform. I downloaded the other two converters in this article only to find that they’re Windows executables and don’t run on my Mac (without a Windows virtual machine/Wine or something like that).
Best,
Jonathan

Bonjour Dominique, bonjour à tous,
Je dois convertir un fichier sdltm pour Wordfast. Un grand merci pour la vidéo très claire. Malheureusement WFConverter affiche le message “Ce fichier est en lecture seule”. Puis-je faire quelque chose à mon niveau ou le client doit-il renvoyer un autre fichier ?
Merci d’avance
Bonne journée
Josiane

Bonjour Josiane,
Si WfConverter n’arrive pas à traiter cette mémoire, tu peux essayer la méthode alternative décrite ici: https://youtu.be/t2cPOVynF6c
Bonne chance!

I try to convert a file .sdlxliff in TMX with WordFast Converter but a window opens and says “Not Implemented yet”.
I followed the video. And I converted some months ago successfully with the same steps…

By: Dominique
If you need to convert an SDLXLIFF into TMX, your best bet is to import the SDLXLIFF into your favorite CAT tool that supports the format, send the translations to a new TM (I’m assuming the SDLXLIFF is a translated one, i.e. the target side has already been populated) and export that TM to TMX.
