CafeTran simply uses TMX files, no need to store them as TMs. No need for file conversion, easy to use, easy to edit even with text editors.

Deja Vu X TM, TB and project files can be opened and edited with MS Access (or Libre/OpenOffice). I feel safe.

Well, memoQ? No solution it seems, https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/memoQ/conversations/topics/21411

resolved itself Sep 22, 2014

Thanks for the reply. I was about to restart the computer to see if that would work when I tried opening the project one more time, and it opened. No idea what changed.
