Question

I used to translate ASS file pretty good before, but now can not add the file and encounter this error: "Could not load file or assembly 'Sdl.Community.Toolkit.FileType, Version=3.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=15236fec901153ed' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified." Could you please help? I understand that this may cause by plug-in because after I encounter error the plug-in is no longer accessible. Trados Studio error message stating 'Could not load file or assembly 'Sdl.Community.Toolkit.FileType, Version=3.0.0.0' with a file named 'D01_1915_Disc_English+km-KH.subs-yb.ass' listed under the File column. A pop-up error message in Trados Studio with a red cross icon indicating 'Object reference not set to an instance of an object.'

Hi Cago Oav , thank you for reporting this. 
 I've quickly looked at this, this morning and It appears that the assembly reference to the toolkit is not mentioned in the plugin manifest of the file type, therefore not bundled with the plugin package. We are currently in the process of reviewing + deploying all plugins that support Trados Studio 2021, subsequently Trados Studio 2022. I've added a bug to our backlog this morning and will ensure it is resolved before the next version of the plugin that is released. 
 Internal reference nr. SDLCOM-3607 
 Thank you for your continuing support, 
 Patrick.
