I cannot open any file for translation.

I cannot open any file for translation. I follow these steps:
I browse to choose a .doc or .docx file in my directory.
I then get to choose to open for translation only.

The "Translation memory and document parameters" window then opens and the software proceeds to ask me the source and target languages, I choose both and when I click on the "ok" button nothing happens.  I cannot get past this step.

Can anyone help me?

Thank you in advance.

  • Hello Steven,

    I found a workaround by opening the file within a project. This feature works fine. If I use the drag & drop menu, I'm still stuck on the "Translation memory and documents parameters" window.

    It all started when I couldn't use the real-time translation preview; I got a message that told me the feature was not supported by the version of Word that I am using (Word 2016 with Trados 2017). I read on the forums that it had to do with the .doc expansion not being supported. I fiddled with the word files to switch to .docx and I then got this problem.

    Is there any way I can reset the whole installation (it is a recent purchase)?
