How to open TBX file?
An often recurring problem with Trados Glossary is that TBX is not associated with the correct program file. This causes the file TBX to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the TBX 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
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Trados is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing Trados into the operating system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below you will find a list of applications that support TBX files.
Programs to open TBX file
Remember to download programs supporting TBX files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Trados with TBX files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the TBX 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. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the TBX file with the Trados program.
Step 3. Update Trados to the latest version
If, however, after binding Trados with Trados Glossary there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the TBX 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:
The TBX file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to TBX files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
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 TBX file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover TBX files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the TBX files changes over time. 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.
There can be many reasons for this. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular TBX file corruption.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file TBX 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. Copying the TBX file to another location will fix the problem.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the TBX 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 TBX to close. However, some background programs may block the TBX file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
