Hi everyone, I received a file folder for the translation of a magazine. It contains several files, amongst them indd, idml and icml files.

So far, I was only able to create a project with Trados Studio using the idml files as this file format was the only file extension/format I could find in the project settings area (“data type for this project”).

However, we were now told to use the indd file. When I try to create a project with the indd file, I receive the error message “The project has to contain at least one file for translation” (in German). In the project settings, I can see two versions of Adobe InDesign and one version of InCopy, none of which show the right file extension.

I tried to manually change the file extension in both InDesign versions to allow the software to recognize the file, but it doesn’t work.

What can I do to help Trados Studio recognize the file type? I am grateful for any suggestions!
