Tips to open IIX file
Can't open the IIX file? You are not the only one. Thousands of users face similar problems every day. Below you will find tips on how to open IIX files as well as a list of programs that support IIX files.

The IIX file is supported on 1 operating systems. Depending on your operating system, you may need different software to handle the IIX files. Below is a summary of the number of programs that support and open the IIX file on each system platform.
What is IIX file?
The file with the extension IIX is the Misc Files file type. The author of this format is SDL. Misc Files consists of 6033 similar files. Translation Memory Index Format appears on 1 operating systems as a functional file. The file will work on Windows systems, unfortunately not on others.
How to open IIX file?
The main problem with Translation Memory Index Format is that the IIX file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file IIX to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the IIX 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 Trados
In this case, you should first verify that the Trados application is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing Trados into the operating system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open IIX files.
Programs to open IIX file
Remember to download programs supporting IIX files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Trados with IIX files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the IIX file to open in the Trados application, but you can set it manually. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. The window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the file. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. The program should be visible in the window, otherwise it should be selected manually using the "Browse" button and the program installation directory should be indicated. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Trados application as the default for handling the IIX file.
Step 3. Update Trados to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Trados program, it is possible that Translation Memory Index Format requires a newer version of the program.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the IIX file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. File problems can be divided into the following:
The IIX file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the IIX file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our IIX file. However, remember that not every infected IIX file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the IIX files changes over time. 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 option of recovering data from damaged IIX files.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted IIX files can be used by the device on which they were encrypted, on any other device it is required to have the appropriate cryptographic key and decrypt the file before its recovery.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. If possible, you can try to move the IIX file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Just close unnecessary programs. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the IIX file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
