Am tearing my hair out here as I have been offered a big project in SDLPPX format - which I had believed could interoperate with Wf Pro.

However, when I try to import it, I get an error message saying "source locale es-x-mo-SDL is not supported" - a meaningless message to me. And there is no offer of help or advice....

Am tearing my hair out here as I have been offered a big project in SDLPPX format - which I had believed could interoperate with Wf Pro.

However, when I try to import it, I get an error message saying "source locale es-x-mo-SDL is not supported" - a meaningless message to me. And there is no offer of help or advice....

Wf Pro manuals are no use - have looked at www.wordfast.com/WFP/5.8/Wordfast_Pro_Help.htm and www.wordfast.net/wiki/Translating_SDL_Trados_packages.

As suggested in the second of those tow links, I tried changing the file name to .ZIP and unzipping and then importing the file, but no joy there either: I get "Invalid source locale es-x-mo-SDL" message.

Does anyone know what is going wrong please? I would at least like to be able to look at the project and let the client know whether or not I can accept the project.

Many thanks for any help ▲ Collapse
