Yep, xmlUtils was the problem (fixed it the easy way by copying over the 
xmlUtils folder to tmServers). Works fine now, but I can't see the TM window 
in the editor. From the debug window, it looks like entries are added fine to 
the TM, but I never get suggestions in the editor (as in the screenshot), 
even for equal strings. 

One thing I really like about 'transolution' is the fact that you separate the 
TM from the actual editor using xmlRPC. Looking forward to see how this 
evolves. Some of my wishlist items are:
 - Published xmlRPC specifications
 - methods to import TMX documents (then we can test this out by exporting our 
PO compendiums to TMX and testing on real-world data)
 - method to pre-translate XLIFF files.

You mention about sentence based segmentation, but how does your editor/TM 
support this? If I convert a document to XLIFF using paragraph segmentation, 
it will still be paragraph segmented in the TM when editing in your editor?

You're definetely more creative than me when it comes to names, so won't try 
any suggestions :) But you've decided on Transolution, - works fine with 
me :)
