* The MMAP file is a compressed archive. When I changed its extension to ZIP, I was able to Extract its contents. I copied Document.xml to translate it.

* If you open Document.xml in a text editor, you will see that the translatable parts are identified in the attribute: PlainText.

* To translate Document.xml in Wordfast Pro, I just created a very simple two-line *.properties file ([https://docs.google.com/uc?id=0B6RiXvgKYZ46RXRlTVpFbUhSOHM click here to download it])
paragraphPrefix.0=PlainText="
paragraphSuffix.0="

* To open the XML file in [[Wordfast Professional|Wordfast Pro]], go to Edit menu > Preferences > Formats > New > Text-based Filter.

* Click the [...] button to locate the (*.properties) file. Make sure the "Extension" textbox shows *.xml and save the settings (OK).

* Now, you should be able to open the XML file in WFP (File menu > Open file).

* After translation, replace the original Document.xml with the translated one, zip the files again, and restore the MMAP extension.

* Now, you should be able to open the translated MMAP in Mindjet MindManager Professional.

Here is a [http://www.screencast.com/t/O4VeUK1Qfj0q quick demonstration showing the steps].

I think it would be much easier if the Mindjet MindManager developers add a two-way option to the application itself for importing and exporting back the XML file.
