- Install any available updates and restart your computer.

**Step 2:** Rename Language Cloud Configuration Files  

- Close SDL Trados Studio.

I can't find the files Language Cloud.bin and Language Cloud Machine Translation.bin

Probability score: 0.7  

Question improvement suggestion: Specify the exact version of Trados Studio you are using and clarify if you have checked for hidden files as suggested in previous responses.  

In the meantime, based on the information you have provided, here is a suggested answer to your question:  

Hello! It seems you're having trouble locating the "Language Cloud.bin" and "Language Cloud Machine Translation.bin" files. Let's go through some steps to help you find them:

**Step 1:** Ensure Hidden Files are Visible  

- Since the "App Data" folder is hidden by default, you need to make sure that hidden files and folders are visible. You can do this by following these steps:  

 1. Open File Explorer.  

 2. Click on the "View" tab at the top.  

 3. Check the box that says "Hidden items."

**Step 2:** Navigate to the Correct Folder  

- After ensuring hidden files are visible, navigate to the following path:  

 `C:\Users\[Your Username]\AppData\Roaming\SDL\SDL Trados Studio`  

 (Replace `[Your Username]` with your actual Windows username.)

**Step 3:** Look for the Files  

- In this folder, look for the files named "Language Cloud.bin" and "Language Cloud Machine Translation.bin." If you find them, you can rename them as previously suggested.

**Step 4:** Check Other Versions (if applicable)  

- If you have multiple versions of Trados Studio installed, you may also need to check the corresponding folders for those versions, such as:  

 - `C:\Users\[Your Username]\AppData\Roaming\SDL\SDL Trados Studio\Studio\14.0.0.0`  

 - `C:\Users\[Your Username]\AppData\Roaming\SDL\SDL Trados Studio\Studio\15.0.0.0`  

If you still cannot find the files after following these steps, please let me know, and we can explore further options. I hope this answer addressed your question.

I still can't see the files  "Language Cloud.bin" and "Language Cloud Machine Translation.bin." I only have one version of Trados installed.

Probability score: 0.8  

Question improvement suggestion: Provide any error messages you may have encountered when trying to access the files or any additional context about your system settings.  

In the meantime, based on the information you have provided, here is a suggested answer to your question:  

Hello! I understand that you're still having trouble locating the "Language Cloud.bin" and "Language Cloud Machine Translation.bin" files. Let's try a few more steps to help you resolve this issue:

**Step 1:** Verify Hidden Files Visibility  

- Ensure that hidden files and folders are visible. You can do this by:  

 1. Opening File Explorer.  

 2. Clicking on the "View" tab at the top.  

 3. Checking the box that says "Hidden items."

**Step 2:** Double-Check the Path  

- Navigate to the following path:  

 `C:\Users\[Your Username]\AppData\Roaming\SDL\SDL Trados Studio`  

 (Make sure to replace `[Your Username]` with your actual Windows username.)

**Step 3:** Search for the Files  

- If you still cannot find the files, try using the search function in the File Explorer. Type "Language Cloud.bin" and "Language Cloud Machine Translation.bin" in the search bar while in the `Roaming` folder.

**Step 4:** Check for Other Versions  

- Since you mentioned you only have one version of Trados installed, ensure that you are looking in the correct folder for that version. If you have any previous installations, check their respective folders as well.

**Step 5:** Consider Permissions  

- Sometimes, file access issues can be related to permissions. Make sure you have the necessary permissions to access the AppData folder. You can right-click on the folder, select "Properties," and check the "Security" tab.

If you still cannot find the files after following these steps, please let me know if you have encountered any error messages or if there are any specific settings on your system that might be affecting file visibility.

I think the main issue here is that SDL Machine Cloud was working last time I used Trados, I did absolutely nothing, modified nothing,...

Thank you!
