Studio 2021 - no longer processing ttx file

EDIT: I had to download a 80 MB package to resolve this appstore.sdl.com/.../

In 2019 I would add a ttx file in target language view and it would get pretranslated. Now, nothing happens and when I click on a ttx file already added in Studio, my PC launches Workbench.

The Legacy Converter does not help with this.

Also, I tried adding it in a new cloud project and I get: This project must include at least one translatable file.

Then I tried adding ttx filters from 2019 Plugins folder. This gave me another error with Studio not starting up "Service 'Sdl.TranslationStudio.AlignmentEditor.IAlignmentEditorService' could not be started"


Trados Studio error message stating 'The project must include at least one translatable file' while trying to create a new cloud project with a TTX file added.

  • I think there are two things here, sort of related.  First of all in 2021 and also in Trados Live (Language Cloud) we have removed support for some of the old "dead" filetype formats. Clearly not really dead, but based on our telemetry not used very often any more.  You can restore them in 2021 and this should resolve the problem you have in Trados Studio by installing the "SDL Trados Compatibility and Migration Power Pack" from the appstore:

    Screenshot of Trados Studio app store page showing the SDL Trados Compatibility and Migration Power Pack with a green download button.

    Make sure you add any additional filetypes to your projects and settings first as you may find you have this after installing the app:

    Trados Studio dialog box with a warning message 'Additional installed File Types exist.' and a list of file types including SDLXLIFF highlighted.

    But in a cloud project we use the filetypes available in the cloud.  Here we have not made it possible to support the legacy filetypes at all.  So you'll have to wait until we add support for SDLXLIFF so you can create the SDLXLIFF files in Studio locally, and then create a new project with the SDLXLIFF files in your target language folder.

    Frankly a ridiculous workaround until we can actually publish a local project to the cloud, but it is what it is and I'm pretty sure we will not be adding support for these legacy filetypes in the cloud.

  • I have a ttx file that I would like to have a look at in Studio 2022, and tried to find the "SDL Trados Compatibility and Migration Power Pack", but the search function could not find it in AppStore. Has it been discontinued?
