Spellchecker in Wordfast Pro 4.8Jul 25, 2016

I have just started using Wordfast Pro 4.8, but am having a problem. When I click "Spellcheck File", an error message appears that says "Spellchecker is unavailable for language en-GB". If this is a common problem, please can you address it and whether it can be fixed.

Do you know if I can export the TXLF file to TXLM format for those who are still using the previous version of WF?

Hi Mauro,

No need to export it. WFP3 supports TXLF files.

TXLF to TXLMOct 8, 2016

Hi,

I've just started using Wordfast Pro 4 and I'd like to know if there is a way to convert txlf files into txlm (or if Trados can open txlf files).
A client of mine works with Trados and she wasn't able to open the txlf with it. Now she is asking me to send her a txlm version of that document.

Thank you.
