How to open TTX file?

The most common problem when using Trados TagEditor Format is that a specific TTX is not associated with the program. This is manifested by the fact that TTX 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 TTX 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 TagEditor

An often overlooked issue is to make sure that SDL Trados TagEditor is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name SDL Trados TagEditor in it. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open TTX files.

Programs to open TTX file

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

Step 2. Create association of SDL Trados TagEditor with TTX files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the TTX file still does not use the SDL Trados TagEditor program, it means no association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the TTX file with the SDL Trados TagEditor program.

Step 3. Update SDL Trados TagEditor to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the SDL Trados TagEditor program, it is possible that Trados TagEditor Format requires a newer version of the program.

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

If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. The most common file problems are:

The TTX file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the TTX file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our TTX file. Sometimes virus-infected TTX files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the TTX files changes over time. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for this. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair TTX file corruption.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file TTX 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. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. It is best to move TTX to a different directory.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file TTX to close. 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.
