'''Question: How do I import a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Translation_Memory_eXchange TMX memory] in Wordfast?'''

'''Answer:''' There is no function/button/menu option labelled 'Import TMX' in Wordfast Classic ,Wordfast Pro or Wordfast Anywhere. However, they support the TMX format (as long as it is valid):

* in [[Wordfast Classic]]: copy the TMX memory you want to use in any folder, then use the Select TM button to open it: it will be converted on-the-fly to the native Wordfast format and a file with the same name, but the .TXT extension will be created in the same folder.
* in [[Wordfast Pro]]: copy the TMX memory you want to use in any folder, then select Translation Memory > New/Select TM > Add TM; it will be converted on-the-fly to the native Wordfast format and a file with the same name, but the .TXT extension will be created in the same folder.<ref>See also: [[Exchanging TMs with Non-Wordfast Users]] in Wordfast Pro</ref>
* in [[Wordfast Anywhere]]: In the configuration dialog box (Setup) under 'Use my TMs and glossaries' just click on the Upload or Merge button. it will be converted on-the-fly to the native Wordfast format.

If -for some reason- Wordfast (Classic or Pro) cannot open a given TMX memory, you can use [http://okapi.sourceforge.net/downloads.html Olifant], a free TM editor (Windows only) that supports the Wordfast format:

* Open the TMX file in Olifant via File > Open (or File > Import)
* Convert the memory to the Wordfast format via File > Save as (or File > Export).<ref>Watch this video: [http://youtu.be/J8A45N40a0k Using Olifant to Convert a TMX to Wordfast TM]</ref>

Please note Wordfast (Classic/Pro/Anywhere) can only open Wordfast memories and TMX memories. If you need to open a Trados TXT memory, see [https://www.wordfast.net/wiki/Trados_TXT_export_TM_file How to open a Trados TXT memory in Wordfast]?
