When I have the project all set up and I go into Editor to start the translation, a window pops up saying
"An error occurred whilst trying to determine the file type".
What on earth does this mean?
The document (or rather documents, since I've tried it with different ones just to see) is in Word.
TIA

Not sure... Aug 29, 2012

... I would expect to see a message like this when trying to open a file from source, not one that was already converted and in your Project. Can you share the Project, or the file?

Regards

Paul

Hi Paul,

In the future please kindly mention the version of the software you are talking about. This will help others to help you, and will make the thread probably useful for other forum participants having similar problems.

Maybe you could edit your initial post to add this information.

Thank you,
Natalia

Good point Aug 29, 2012

That's a good point, Natalia.

The version in this case is SDL Studio 2009.

Error occurred whilst trying to determine the file type on studio 2011 Sep 18, 2012

Hello,

I'm glad rebooting has solved your problem. It didn't solve mine. I'm working on SDL Studio 2011 and I can't access my project hence I can't finalize it and send it on time. It keeps saying: "error occurred whilst trying to determine the file type". Any clues on how to fix it?
