Hello!
First, sorry for my bad english.
I have a question about Trados 6.5. I have to translate a lot of excel files and it seems that it does not function with Trados. How can I open Trados in Excel and work with it?
Thanks
Kadu

I am not sure Trados 6.5 handles Excel files. I am now using a newer version Trados 7.5 whch is part of SDL Trados 2006 package and do not remember about Trados 6.5. In Trados 7.5 it works the following way:
1. Open TagEditor and you will be prompted that Trados Workbench is not running. Open the Workbench after receiving the prompt. If you do not have the translation memory which you intend to use with the excel files, create a new one.
2. In TagEditor select Menu/File/Open New an... See more I am not sure Trados 6.5 handles Excel files. I am now using a newer version Trados 7.5 whch is part of SDL Trados 2006 package and do not remember about Trados 6.5. In Trados 7.5 it works the following way:

2. In TagEditor select Menu/File/Open New and select "Excel files" in the type of files window in the lower part of the dialogue window.
3. Open your excel file and translate.
4. After translation run Tools/Clean up/Update TM
If TRados 6.5 handles Excel files this is the only way. As the Workbench itself does not do it alone. ▲ Collapse

Thanks, but it does not function. The message error is:
Failed to create file parser Trados.ExcelFileParser2
Failed to creat parser for plugin file format!
I cannot open any Excel File with the TagEditor.

Alexey is absolutely right, today I was having the same problem (actually, my problem is Trados 6.5 not working with Office 2007 Word files, even if I converted them to 97-2003 files), but it works when you are dealing with excel files using Tag Editor.
The only thing is that I cannot see any box showing the "Type of files", I can only select File/Open ... then the directory window with the file list opens.

Trados 6.5 was only able to import Excel into TagEditor after a certain service pack (something like 6.5.5.438, 6.5.5.439 or perhaps 6.5.5.441). So, what comes after 6.5 in your "About"?

| I know it won't help much... | May 16, 2007 |
but I have no problems with Excel files in TagEditor 6.5, they are opened without any errors and work fine. I hope you will manage to solve the problem.
P.S. I have version 6.5.7.516

| Try to get 6.5.5.441 then | May 16, 2007 |
I am not sure which was the exact "breakpoint" one, but I do know that 441 was able to import Excel into TagEditor.

| Exactly the same problem with new version | May 19, 2007 |
I have exactly the same problem, but with version 7.5.0.759.
When trying to open an Excel file, I get:
"Failed to create file parser Trados.ExcelFileParser2"
and then:
"(80005): Failed to create parser for plugin file format!".
I only have this problem on my new computer with Windows Vista an Word 2003. On my old computer with XP an Word 2003 it works perfectly.

| Change Macro situation? | May 19, 2007 |
Hi, Kadu,
Have you ever tried to adjust macro situation with your excel?
Change macro level can solve this kind of problem sometimes, of course not all of them, but it's worth a try.

Thanks all for your reply. Finally I have translated the files with SDLX, because I could not resolve the problem with Trados.

A tag settings file has not yet been defined for this document type.

I've had this problem on a couple of computers running Vista. I fixed it by running a repair installation using the updated setup files that were released in February - make sure to run it in compatibility mode. Right click on Setup.exe, click on properties, on the compatibility tab - check Windows XP. Then run the setup as usual. Choose Repair.

Once I was unable to open Excel files with TagEditor until I reinstalled Microsoft .NET and Java. I have no idea if they are still so important in the newer versions, but I suoppose they are.
