How to get Unicode text in markers (FM9)

Exactly, this is my experience.

Probably your old script used "FileType(SaveFmtInterchange)".
With FS FdkVersion 80 or 90, this will result in MIF7 (bug or feature?).
Instead, you need SaveFmtInterchange80 (FdkVersion 80) or 
SaveFmtInterchange90 (FdkVersion 90). FS 5.1 required.

Hello Klaus,

So you say that when I save from FM9 as FM9 MIF (or FM8 MIF) the translated
files should be Unicode, including the marker texts. No extra settings
needed for Trados? In my last project this was not the case, may be the
files were saved as FM7 MIF then (they were saved using an old script that
I've used ever since FM 7).

Kind regards, vriendelijke groet,
