Hi,
This may sound ... I don't know ...
I just got Trados demo to try it and installed it. IT IS opened, and my Word file for translation IS open ... I followed all the steps required to start working, but once I click on the open or open/get button, I get this message:
Trados Translator's Workbench is not running
What did I do wrong Now?

The message you get sounds weird as you should probably get a message that's different from the one you quoted.
But could it be that you have not yet made up a TM in Workbench? If you don't have a TM to work with, or if no TM is open, that might be why you're getting the eror message.
In Workbench, click File > New, and then make up a TM (translation memory). It doesn't matter if you have nothing to add to it yet - that's what Workbench does: add units to the TM. Make s...

I created a new memory ... that's not the problem. On my screen, and according to the steps specified in the tutorial, I did everything right ... but the Trados looks like it's just isn't there to Word! I can see its tool bar, but the problem is still there!

Hi
The only time I get this message is when I am reading a Word file and click on some Trados command by mistake. The message is telling you that you haven't got Trados open. It is not possible to just open the Word file and use the Trados commands. One has to open both, the Word file and WorkBench (if it is WB what you are required to work with).
Once you have open both, open your newly created memory or the memory the customer sent you from WB, and, you are ready.

I hope this was an easy one and that is all you needed.
Good luck!

I have lost my Trados template before and that caused a problem similar to yours.
You should go to C:\Documents and Settings\\Application Data\Microsoft\Word\STARTUP - or something similar (I use WinXP and Office2000). In that folder, you should have a Word template called TRADOS7.dot (replace the number by whichever Trados version you are using). If it's not there, that is what's wrong.

You have to find the template and put it in your Startup folder. For Trados 7.0 and above, it should be here: C:\Program Files\SDL International\T2006_FL\TT\Templates
Now, you also need to check whether the template is active in Word. In Word2000, you just need to fo to Tools > Templates & Add-Ins to get a list of templates in your Startup folder. Locate TRADOS7.dot and make sure you check the checkbox next to it. Now, to make sure all is correct, close both programs and restart Workbench and Word.
Does this work for you? ▲ Collapse

| it might be the language | Nov 13, 2006 |
Dina,
Workbench does not work if your target language in word is different from the target language in the TM you are using.
Ex: if your language in word is US English, and the target language in the TM you have is British Englsih, workbench will not work.
Try it.

| Trados Workbench is not running | Mar 18, 2007 |
I am now encountering the same problem. I was working in Trados 7.1 on my laptop and did not experience any problems.
I have the same software on my desktop under the one extra license that Trados allows the same user. So I know it is not an issue of the license file.
Word version in both laptop and desktop cases is the same--2003.

Word version in both laptop and desktop cases is the same--2003.
I uninstalled and reinstalled Word, made sure that the Trados template was in the Word startup folder, and that the Trados application was running under the softkey license.
But it keeps happening. Following suggestions in this thread, I disabled anti-Virus, and disabled Windows Firewall. My operating system is Win XP Service pack 2--same as on the laptop.
No change. I keep getting the stubborn error message. Please keep in mind that the Trados toolbar and the Trados menu are both visible in Word.
I do have earlier versions of Trados and Office. I am seriously thinking of downgrading in an attempt to resolve the issue.
I wonder if anyone is out there that can shed some light on the subject.
Many thanks,
Hikmat Faraj

Dear all,
I ran into this error message as well when I had just reinstalled everything on my computer. It turned out registration wasn't working properly (but since it goes so fast you can hardly read the error messages that appear in the terminal window that shows the registration process and no special error message appears after an unsuccessful registration).

The solution for me was to log onto Windows as a user with administrator privileges. Then I just had to Register Trados there and that's all. I was able to start using Trados without problems.
I realise this advice probably comes to late for those of you who posted the question, but I hope it will help other translators in the future.
Kind regards,
