Error: "The selected project could not be opened"

Hi all,

So, my SDL Trados froze and shut down. When I returned to my Projects view, a few of the latest projects were gone from the list.

As I tried to open my most recent project, Trados gives me the error "The selected project could not be opened".

Any one know how to fix this? Error details are below.

  • Hi  ,

    Do you still require assistance with opening projects error?

    Regarding the issue, does this happen for this project only, when clicking on Open Project and searching for the .sdlproj file?

    If the project can no longer be opened from Open Project button, then you can open directly the SDLXLIFF file, by drag&drop in the Editor view, from the target folder of the project.
    This file might not be corrupt and it can be saved separately, outside the project folder, and you can continue to work on it.

    Or you can re-create the project - open the package again in Trados (if the project was created from a package), or open the Source file again - then pre-translate with the translation memory used in the first project that seems to be corrupt.

    Hope it helps.
