key already exists, key: Strings.FilterAdministratorSettingsCategory

I'm using SDL Trados Studio 2021 Professional - 16.0.1.2917

I have some .string files I need to analyze and the system doesn't support that so I created one using instructions from this site:

https://gateway.rws.com/csm?id=kb_article_view&sysparm_article=KB0035271

When that didn't work I decided to just download the zip folder at the bottom of that page and import it.

When I did that, I now receive the error: key already exists, key: Strings.FilterAdministratorSettingsCategory

I can't open the File types at all now and when I create a new project and click on File types, it throws the same error and shuts Trados down completely. I know there are 2 instances of the file type .strings in there now, but how do I get this working again?

I think part of the problem here may be the age of this article and the fact the filetype setting in 2021 will have moved on a bit since then. I suggest you reset Studio and then create the filetype manually. I also think it would be worth making sure that the contents of your *.strings file is actually the same as the content of the file in the example.

To reset, 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\Studio16

So the path would become this:

c:\Users\[USERNAME]\AppData\Roaming\SDL\SDL Trados Studio\Studio16_old

If you can't find this folder then you need to unhide your hidden files/folders:

https://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/show-hidden-files-and-folders-in-windows-vista/

Then paste a small sample of your *.strings file into here and we can make a suggestion on how you should tackle it.

Thanks Paul, we found one of your older threads about renaming the folder as well. So we did that, and on restart it brought up the install window, we did that and everything has been restored.

You are right about the instructions though, it parses out all text so we're working now to find the right combinations/rules that will work on the .strings files.

Thank you again!
