How to open SDLTM file?
An often recurring problem with SDL Trados Studio is that SDLTM is not associated with the correct program file. Thus, when you open SDLTM, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the SDLTM 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. This can be achieved by typing SDL Trados Studio into the operating system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file SDLTM with SDL Trados Studio. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open SDLTM files.
Programs to open SDLTM file
Remember to download programs supporting SDLTM files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of SDL Trados Studio with SDLTM files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the SDLTM file to open in the SDL Trados Studio application, but you can set it manually. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the SDLTM file with the SDL Trados Studio program.
Step 3. Update SDL Trados Studio to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the SDL Trados Studio program, it is possible that SDL Trados Studio requires a newer version of the program. In this case, use the SDL Tridion website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the SDLTM file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the SDLTM 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 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 SDLTM file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected SDLTM files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of SDLTM 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.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair SDLTM file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting SDL Tridion, 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 SDLTM files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. 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 SDLTM file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the SDLTM file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file SDLTM to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the SDLTM file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
