The LPU file is supported on 1 operating systems. Depending on your operating system, you may need different software to handle the LPU files. Below is a summary of the number of programs that support and open the LPU file on each system platform.
What is LPU file?
The file with the extension LPU is the Misc Files file type. The creator of this file is SDL. Misc Files consists of 6033 similar files. Passolo Localization Project is supported by 1 operating systems. These systems consist of Windows, although it may occasionally be found on another system, it will be non-functional. It is recommended to use SDL Passolo to handle this file. This is a program created by SDL.
How to open LPU file?
The main problem with Passolo Localization Project is that the LPU file is incorrectly associated with programs. Thus, when you open LPU, 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 LPU 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 Passolo
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that SDL Passolo is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing SDL Passolo into the operating system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open LPU files.
Programs to open LPU file
Remember to download programs supporting LPU files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of SDL Passolo with LPU files
If, despite the installed application, the LPU file does not start in the SDL Passolo application, you must create a file association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the LPU file with the SDL Passolo program.
Step 3. Update SDL Passolo to the latest version
If, despite the association of the SDL Passolo program with the Passolo Localization Project file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the SDL page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the LPU file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. File problems can be divided into the following:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the LPU file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the LPU file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected LPU 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 LPU files changes over time. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular LPU file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact SDL
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file LPU 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.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. It is best to move LPU to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the LPU file again. However, some background programs may block the LPU file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
