How can I solve this problem and open my file again? I am desperate because it was a very long file and I had almost finished to translate it. Please help me!!!!
Thank you. ▲ Collapse

possible easy solution Jan 13, 2014

hi Maria, don't worry, your work is not lost. it is surely contained in the TM you have been using for the job you were doing when Studio closed unexpectedly.
my possible solution would be the following:

1) in the Windows Control Panel > Add or remove programs > Studio 20xx Suite of Products, right click, do a Repair Installation.
2) try to open Studio again. you will have to insert the 5 languages again.

hi Maria, don't worry, your work is not lost. it is surely contained in the TM you have been using for the job you were doing when Studio closed unexpectedly.

2) try to open Studio again. you will have to insert the 5 languages again.

if this lets you open Studio but you can't open the file you were working on, create a new Project in Studio, add your source file AND link to it the TM you were using for it.
you will find the TM, if you're using the default settings, in the folder Studio 20xx/Projects/(your project that won't let you open the file)/TM.

then, you can pretranslate all your work again and continue working.
good luck! the worst problems have the easiest solutions! ▲ Collapse
