Unfortunately I don't have a configuration file for XTM. According to 
the manual [1] the extension in your clients TYPO3 installation can 
generate configuration files for Across, DéjàVu, memoQ, SDL TRADOS 
TagEditor, SDL Trados Studio and SDL PASSOLO. Is one of those tools more 
compatible with XTM?

Commercial support and training for the Localization Manager is provided 
by loctimize [2]. Perhaps they have some experience with XTM or know 
someone who has made a configuration file for XTM.

The configuration file probably only tells the translation tool what 
data is to be expected in which XML tag. An overview of the tags and 
their meaning can be found at [3]. The manual I link to is automatically 
converted from a .sxw (OpenOffice.org document) and thus a bit hard to 
read at some places.

Hopefully you manage to get XTM working with the XML structure so you 
can provide translation services for TYPO3 installations.
