Wordfast Anywhere News

We are currently in the process of switching the bilingual file format on WFA from TXML to TXLF. This is a behind-the-scenes upgrade so you won’t notice much difference. However, this will afford greater compatibility and interconnectivity with WFP5, including package support. The migration should be completed sometime this fall.
