The .txt file has no use for OmegaT or for you.
Remove it from the /tm folder. Not because it will change anything (it's
ignored anyway by OmegaT), but for the sake of clarity. It's better to
understand what one is doing.

Routine check: do the languages in the TMX match with the languages used in
the project?

As Marc says.

But instead of searching what *might* be there, I open the TMX file with a
text editor (which allows me to check it's actually a TMX file, I have seen
Wordfast TMs renamed as .tmx, for instance), select a bit of text, then
search for this text in OmegaT.
