How to open BDT file?
The most common problem when using Lingvo Dictionary is that a specific BDT is not associated with the program. This is manifested by the fact that BDT files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the BDT file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.
Step 1. Install ABBYY Lingvo
The first step is to check if the computer has the ABBYY Lingvo program installed. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name ABBYY Lingvo in it. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file BDT with ABBYY Lingvo. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open BDT files.
Programs to open BDT file
Remember to download programs supporting BDT files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of ABBYY Lingvo with BDT files
If, despite the installed application, the BDT file does not start in the ABBYY Lingvo application, you must create a file association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. It may happen that in the next window there will be no appropriate program - however, this can be corrected with the "Browse" option where you should manually indicate the program location. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the BDT file with the ABBYY Lingvo application.
Step 3. Update ABBYY Lingvo to the latest version
If, however, after binding ABBYY Lingvo with Lingvo Dictionary there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the ABBYY website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the BDT file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. Usually this applies to BDT files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our BDT file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover BDT files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the BDT file. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair BDT file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact ABBYY
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file BDT except for the special designation, works normally, but only on the device where it was encrypted, before transferring it to another machine, decryption is required.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. Copying the BDT file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the BDT file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If this does not work either, restart the device.
