The client needs my Wordfast TM as txt file not aligned for his Trados Thread poster: Iouri Belooussov

Dear colleagues,
Sorry for now if this has already been in the topics.
My issue is that my client wants me to send him my Wordfast TM as a txt file not aligned for use in his Trados. My current Wordfast TM is a txt file but it's aligned and I cannot figure out the to make that txt file not aligned. Simple that might be but cannot find the clue really.
I offered him my TM as a tmx file, but he needs txt.
Many thanks,
Yuri

Does your TM contain only translation done for the client?
If so, the client can get all the TU's into his onw Trados TM by cleaning the uncleaned files you got from translating with Wordfast. They are exactly the same.
If not, the client has no business asking you for your TM.
Best,
Esther

I do not understand how a TM could be 'not aligned', but the easiest way to do this is the way Esther says: send the client the uncleaned translated file, he/shen can then make a new TM or add it to an existing TM, in the correct version etc.
I have TRADOS but I do not like working with it, so I often send my uncleaned texts (translated in Wordfast).
The client can then use the text, create a TM, a translation etc.
As far as I know TRADOS does not read a TM in .txt format, at...

As far as I know TRADOS does not read a TM in .txt format, at least my version (6.5.5) only recognises .tmw files.

I have on idea what the client means by "non-aligned TM". A TM is always aligned. A non-aligned TM would be monolingual, right?
But perhaps the client means that he doesn't want a WF TM or a TMX TM, but a Trados TXT TM instead. WF can't generate a Trados TXT TM, but AFAIK Oliphant can.
