Hello. The client send me a file that ends with ".xlsx.xlz" and ask me: "To be double-sure on TWS (Translation Workspace), please open the attached file and send me the screenshot."

I suggest that you run away from that client. If you have to pay for TWS, most probably your client is LB. Agencies that take over LB jobs, provide a license for you but pay half the LB rate. If your client does not give you a license, it makes me think it is LB itself. If so, run. | | | Cleiton Silva Brazil Local time: 12:20 English to Portuguese + ... INICIO DE TEMA

Thank you for your reply, Stepan! My client is not Lionbridge. Do I not need a license to open the file in TWS? What should I reply to him?

Stepan, thank you so much for the help! I downloaded it in your link and I got to open the file without license/tenancy. | | | I received the same email, but I was wondering if that could be a scam | Jul 20 |
