"(50106) No matching settings file found)” error in Trados 7.0 Thread poster: Silvia Gentili

|---|
Hello
I am trying to analyze with Trados 7.0 some HTM files; so I created a new memory and opened it to use it for the analysis (it is empty), went to analyze, added the htm files I want to analyze, and when I clicked on "Analyze”, there appeared a error message that says "(50106) No matching settings file found)” What I did was to erase the log file path, however I could not solve the problem, the error is still there. Does somebody know what this means? Thank you. SG

First I would try to change the file extension to HTML and see if that fixes it.
If not, then there is a settings file missing on your computer. Trados has a standard pre-installed settings file for translating HTML files, it has the extension INI, I believe. You can view your settings files by going to the Tools > Options menu then settings, I believe, in either Translators Workbench or Tag Editor. Check there to see that one is available for HTML.

Apart from that, I agree with you. Silvia needs to set up the correct Tag Settings File (HTML4.ini)

Make sure your document is not xml. If not, try any of the following options:
1) Rename the file from .htm into .html. Some applications require only a three-letter file extension... Try this:
http://www.instantweb.com/tools/htm2html.html
The point is Trados can only deal with html documents, for other types (htm, xml etc) it needs the specific .ini files (those tag setting... See more Make sure your document is not xml. If not, try any of the following options:

2) Another method, more complicated, would require two actions:
a) convert the document from htm into pdf. Try http://www.verypdf.com/pdfcamp/htm-to-pdf.html.
There may be others, too.
b) convert the pdf into word. Two programs that I know: Solid PDF Converter and Abby FineReader. Both have trial versions, as far as I know.
Good luck! ▲ Collapse

Say what?
Trados recognizes tagged files not by their file extension, but by their !DOCTYPE element. If you check the list of extensions for the "HTML Documents" file type in the File|Open dialog, you will see that both .htm and .html are listed.
In short: The file extension is irrelevant and should be kept so as to preserve any links to these files. Never rename HTML files unless you know precisely what you're doing.

P.S.: I just fully realized what you're suggesting with method 2. Here's the opinion of an outsourcer:
If I task you with the translation of HTML files, no matter what the extension, and you convert them to PDF, then Word and finally deliver translated Word files to me, that will have been the last time you ever worked for me.
Conversion is not an option. Trados TagEditor supports direct translation of HTML files just fine and if you do anything else, I'll be extremely dissatisifed. (Those are my two cents.)

the log file is irrelevant here (it contains the anaylze/translate/clean-up data)
you simply need to locate the html4.ini file and tell trados where to find it

At first I didn't know what you were saying because as far as I know both HTML and HTM files can have hyperlinks. But if you change the name of this document then any documents linking to it will have broken links. Simple fix would be to change the extension back once the file is translated. Right?

Precisely.
But why change the name in the first place when that does nothing to cure the underlying problem...?
