How to open TRANS file?

The most common problem when using Amaya Data Format is that a specific TRANS is not associated with the program. This is manifested by the fact that TRANS files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. How to solve such a problem?

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the TRANS 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 Amaya

The first step is to check if the computer has the Amaya program installed. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Amaya in it. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below is a list of programs that support the file TRANS.

Programs to open TRANS file

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

Step 2. Create association of Amaya with TRANS files

If, despite the installed application, the TRANS file does not start in the Amaya application, you must create a file association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. 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 TRANS file with the Amaya program.

Step 3. Update Amaya to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the Amaya program, it is possible that Amaya Data Format requires a newer version of the program. In this case, use the W3C website or update the program from the application.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the TRANS file

Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:

The TRANS file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to TRANS files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file TRANS or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover TRANS files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of TRANS file may not always be supported by the latest software version. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair TRANS file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file TRANS 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 TRANS to a different directory.
This problem only occurs with 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. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the TRANS file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
