Use the Upgrade Translation Memories wizard to upgrade to the SDL Trados Studio translation memory format .sdltm.
The following types of input can be upgraded to an SDL Trados Studio translation memory format:

When upgrading your translation memories you are required to have the application where the
translation memory was created and SDL Trados Studio installed on your computer.
In order to upgrade SDLX 2007 translation memories, you must have SDLX 2007 installed on your computer.
In order to upgrade SDL Trados 2007 translation memories or SDL WinAlign Export TXT files, you must have SDL Trados Suite 2007 installed on your computer. SDL recommends that you if you have a release of Trados that is earlier than SDL Trados 2007 SP3 that you first upgrade your translation memories to this version and then upgrade them to SDL Trados Studio. For information on how to upgrade your translation memories to SDL Trados Suite 2007 SP3, see the documentation provided with SDL Trados Suite 2007 SP3.
In order to upgrade a server-based translation memory from SDL Trados 2007 you must also have SDL Trados Server Manager installed on your computer.
