How to open XTRL file?
The most common problem when using XTND Translator is that a specific XTRL is not associated with the program. This causes the file XTRL 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 XTRL 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 ClarisWorks
The first step is to check if the computer has the ClarisWorks program installed. This can be achieved by typing ClarisWorks into the operating system search engine.

Programs to open XTRL file
Remember to download programs supporting XTRL files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of ClarisWorks with XTRL files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the XTRL file to open in the ClarisWorks 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. 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 XTRL file with the ClarisWorks program.
Step 3. Update ClarisWorks to the latest version
If, however, after binding ClarisWorks with XTND Translator there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. In this case, use the Apple, Inc. website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the XTRL 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 XTRL file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the XTRL file. 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. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our XTRL file. However, remember that not every infected XTRL file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the XTRL files changes over time. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular XTRL file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact N/A
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted XTRL files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. If possible, you can try to move the XTRL file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the XTRL file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the XTRL file again. However, some background programs may block the XTRL file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
