How can I open XLIFF document?

Question

Hello, 
 I received a xliff format document from client but I cannot open. Is there any setting or something? 
 Thank you in advance...

Hi melisa , 
 
You should be able to treat an XLIFF like any other file and just create your translation project with this file. If it doesn't work it would be helpful to know what sort of message you are getting? Is the extension xliff or is it something else?

Hi melisa , 
 
Apart from the fact that the creator decided to use CDATA for all the TUs for no explicable reason I have no problem with the file at all. Your screenshot does look a little odd with the files indented below the first one... are you actually handling a zipped file perhaps (just guessing)? Can you open the single file you sent me if you use the preview feature in the filetypes?

Hi melisa , 
 
Did you perhaps import an old project template from a previous version of Studio? I think it would be worth you carrying out a reset. You could use this app for it and it will also explain what you will lose by carrying out a reset before you do it: 
 
 appstore.sdl.com/.../ 
 
But if you'd rather do this manually then rename this folder (just add _old to the end or something, it's not important what you rename it to) and restart Studio: 
 
c:\Users\[USERNAME]\AppData\Roaming\SDL\SDL Trados Studio\14.0.0.0 
 
So the path would become this: 
 
c:\Users\[USERNAME]\AppData\Roaming\SDL\SDL Trados Studio\14.0.0.0_old 
 
If you can't find this folder then you need to unhide your hidden files/folders:

Paul will not believe that I solved the case. The problem is related to the extension. I wrote the extension in lowercase, eg. xliff, not the XLIFF file. :D I'm pretty happy now.
