How to open TMLANGUAGE file?

The main problem with TextMate Language Grammar Format is that the TMLANGUAGE file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file TMLANGUAGE to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the TMLANGUAGE 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 TextMate

An often overlooked issue is to make sure that TextMate is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing TextMate 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 TMLANGUAGE with TextMate. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open TMLANGUAGE files.

Programs to open TMLANGUAGE file

Remember to download programs supporting TMLANGUAGE files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of TextMate with TMLANGUAGE files

If, despite the installed application, the TMLANGUAGE file does not start in the TextMate application, you must create a file association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. 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. 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 TMLANGUAGE file with the TextMate program.

Step 3. Update TextMate to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the TextMate program, it is possible that TextMate Language Grammar Format requires a newer version of the program. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the MacroMates Ltd. page and install.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the TMLANGUAGE 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 TMLANGUAGE 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 quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file TMLANGUAGE or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected TMLANGUAGE 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 TMLANGUAGE 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.
There can be many reasons for the failure. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged TMLANGUAGE files. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting MacroMates, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted TMLANGUAGE 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. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. Copying the TMLANGUAGE file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the TMLANGUAGE file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the TMLANGUAGE file again. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If this does not work either, restart the device.
