How to open BPM file?
An often recurring problem with Trados AutoSuggest Dictionary Format is that BPM is not associated with the correct program file. Thus, when you open BPM, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the BPM 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 SDL Trados Studio
The first step is to check if the computer has the SDL Trados Studio program installed. To do this, enter the name SDL Trados Studio into the system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below is a list of programs that support the file BPM.
Programs to open BPM file
Remember to download programs supporting BPM files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of SDL Trados Studio with BPM files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the BPM file still does not use the SDL Trados Studio program, it means no association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the SDL Trados Studio application as the default for handling the BPM file.
Step 3. Update SDL Trados Studio to the latest version
If, however, after binding SDL Trados Studio with Trados AutoSuggest Dictionary Format 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 SDL Tridion website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the BPM file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This suggests truncating the BPM file contents when downloading or copying. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file BPM or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover BPM files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of BPM file may not always be supported by the latest software version. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular BPM file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact SDL
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted BPM files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. If possible, you can try to move the BPM file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the BPM file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. 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 nothing helps, please reset the device.
