I added ;*txlf as described under the file type XLIFF.  But I still get the error message "This file is not supported" when I try to read .txlf file.   Can you think of any cause for this error and a way to fix it?

Perhaps you didn’t make the change in the right place? Check you did this in File -> Options and not your Project Settings... unless you are trying to add this to an existing project?

Or perhaps you’re using a project template in which case you should make the change on your project templates?

Or perhaps you’re creating your project on the basis of another project where the project settings don’t have the txlf set up correctly?

Or maybe there’s a problem with the file itself?

Or maybe you made the change to the xliff 2.0 filetype by mistake?

A few things worth checking. Perhaps one of them will help?

It still does not work.  I did File -> Options -> File Type -> XLIFF and added as "*.xlf;*.xliff;*.xlz;*.txlf"

If I try to uplaod the txlf file:

in the case of a single document, there is an error message "This file type is not supported"

in the case of a new project, the file is recognized as "reference" instead of "translatable."

In either case, I cannot open the txlf files.  I tried with several txlf documents received from a

translation company but the result is the same.

----------------------------------------------------------

As a way around, I open the txlf file with Wordfast Pro 5 and make a doc document (GET MS Word Table function) and then I upload the doc document to SDL Trados.  It works but it is a very cumbersome process, wasting time.

I would appreciate your help.

ok - you are either doing something wrong or the file isn't what you think it is. Please provide a sample file so we can rule out the possibility of the file being incorrect.

Thank you for your reply。

Here is the link to the sample txlf file which I tried:

I tried several txlf files including this file but the result was the same.

I would appreciate your help.

I tested this quickly (thanks for the sample file) and it worked easily;

So clearly you are doing something wrong.  So let's go through what you might not be tackling correctly:

1. Change the file dialog wildcard expression:
   
   
   
2. If you did this in File -> Options then it should work for new projects using your default template
   
   
3. If you do this in your Project Settings then it should work for the project whose settings you changed when you wish to add a new *.txlf file to that specific project
   
   
4. If you do this in your custom templates then you should be able to use this for all new projects created with our custom templates.

If none of this makes any sense then I think it'll be faster to take a call and look at this with you.  It definitely works.

I did the step 2.　"・・・・;*.txlf" under XLIFF of File Type is always there.  That is why I cannot understand.   How can I call you?

How are you creating your projects? That's the important thing.
