How to fix unexpected error> Dependency file not found

I have tried to read about the same topic in previous discussions, but it seems somehow different. I have been working on the same file for months, but suddenly this message appears when I tried to open the file. But I received the package from the client. Thus, I don't have any source file in my laptop. This is the first time I have this kind of issue even if I have worked on SDL flawlessly for around 4 years.

I can't even open the file and TM seems to be empty. I don't want to lose my translation which is almost finished. 

 

Is there any way I can recover the file or fix this kind of error?

 Error message in Trados Studio saying 'Dependencies file not found' with file path specified and options to browse for the file or cancel.

 

Warning message in Trados Studio stating 'Cannot find any supported translation memory or add-in. Would you like to create a new translation memory?' with OK and Cancel buttons.

  • Any source bigger than 20 MB won't be embedded. If the file has not been created by yourself, you can check, if the problem has already existed before you've started to work. In that case your Studio is not guilty at all.

    To make sure the error has been there before you started, simply open the file in the folder with the source language, which should be in your package folder on your PC. Just use "single document" method. If the error appears, the error is caused by your customer. If the error does NOT appear, use File - Advanced Save - Save source as to get the source file. Then you can add the file to your translation file when the error pops up again.
