Dear DPS,

On the other hand, there are similar file extensions which are specific to different CAT tools and incompatible with other software. It may be the case that the .xlf file generated by XTM is valid but you need to use a different file opening option in the other CAT (since it is not native to that specific CAT).
If you still believe the generated .xlf file is corrupted, please send it to [email protected] together with the project details, so that we can check this and respond to you promptly.
