Step 1. Install Lingoes

Programs to open LD2 file
Remember to download programs supporting LD2 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Lingoes with LD2 files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the LD2 file to open in the Lingoes application, but you can set it manually. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. 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 LD2 file with the Lingoes application.
Step 3. Update Lingoes to the latest version
If, however, after binding Lingoes with Lingoes Dictionary Format there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. In this case, use the Lingoes Project website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the LD2 file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the LD2 file. 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. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our LD2 file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover LD2 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 LD2 file. On their websites, developers usually offer free solutions to such problems, e.g. in the form of a conversion program or an older version of the program.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair LD2 file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Lingoes Project, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted LD2 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. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. Copying the LD2 file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the LD2 file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file LD2 to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the LD2 file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
