Step 1. Install Trados

Programs to open SDLPROFILE file
Remember to download programs supporting SDLPROFILE files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Trados with SDLPROFILE files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the SDLPROFILE file still does not use the Trados program, it means no association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. 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. 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Trados application as the default for handling the SDLPROFILE file.
Step 3. Update Trados to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Trados program, it is possible that TRADOS Exported User Settings requires a newer version of the program.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the SDLPROFILE 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. Usually this applies to SDLPROFILE files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the SDLPROFILE file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected SDLPROFILE file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the SDLPROFILE file. 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. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged SDLPROFILE files.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted SDLPROFILE 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. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. Copying the SDLPROFILE file to another location will fix the problem.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the SDLPROFILE file again. However, some background programs may block the SDLPROFILE file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
