System cannot find specified file; translation memory no longer working.

This morning I ran Avast Cleanup Premium on my laptop and since then my TM seems to have stopped working. When I tried to save a translated file to Word I received the error message System cannot find specified file. Following that, I attempted to reload the project to Trados, confident that the file would be automatically translated from the TM. This hasn't happened, and when I open the original project my completed translation from before is also not there.

Please help!

  • I have successfully repopulated the translation using the project TM. However, I am still thrown the same error message when attempting to preview or Save Target As. Does the file stack help reveal the problem?

  • Hi  ,

    Thanks, this is really helpful.

    The error does indeed indicate an error with the temporary files as suspected.

    When working with Studio, temporary files are created whilst working and are needed until you save the file and close Studio. If these temp files are deleted, then this will cause issues. It's unlikely you can retrieve the temp files after such a deep clean unfortunately.

    You should, however, be able to recreate the project using the original source files- I would copy these and give them a slightly different name.

    Now recreate the project (using a slightly different name) and if you can find the TM that you used and which hopefully was updated, you can run a BatchTask- Pretranslate.

  • Hi ,

    Was just replying as you sent this last message.

    To test the file- Use the Transate Single file option- open the file in the Editor and then immediately (do not translate anything) Save Target As- if you have issues at this stage, then the file is most likely corrupted.

    You can take the original file and resave it (again use a slightly different name) and run this through Studio (single file) once again.

    I would also recommend updating top the latest Studio version (Help>Check for updates) and also ensure your PC is completely up to date.

  • Hi Steven,

    I've reloaded the project that was sent to me by the client and repopuated the translation, but still get the same error when I try to preview/Save Target As.

  • Hi again Steven,

    How do I use the translate single file option with project files to run this test? The client sent me a Trados project file.

  • This also seems to be affecting my old projects. Here is the error I receive when attempting to preview an old translation. Is this the same problem?

  • Hi , ,

    Yes-the errors are identical and are both originating from the temp file manager.

    I don't mind having a look at the package- you can send it to me if you wish- (swhale@sdl.com)

    You can look at the files within the package by simply copying and saving the .sdlppx and renaming this from.sdlppx to .zip

    Now you can unzip the package and look at the files.

    I, however, do recommend you update everything as suggested here as I firmly believe that AVAST cleanup may have caused this.

  • Hi Steven. Thanks for your continued help! Which package would you like to see? As this error seems to be affecting all of my old translations, I'm not sure which file to send you. Are you referring to the original project file that triggered this thread?

  • Hi Steven,

    I seems that the problem may run deeper than Trados, since none of my Office applications will open. Interestingly, my version of Studio 2015 (which I kept on my machine just in case) now no longer opens either. I have posted on a Microsoft support forum to see if they can help.

    Meantime, I have worked through all the steps on the update page that you sent me and the problem persists. Barring any Microsoft issues, do you have any more advice?
