URGENT help needed. Problems with accents in file names

Trados is giving me this error when I try to open a return package:

 Error message in Trados Studio: 'Could not find file C:UsersAppDataLocalTemp2fabcde-789-xyz.sdlxliff'.

 

In the document path I can see that the file name does not recognise the accent (doesn't read UTF8):

 

 File explorer showing two SDLXLIFF documents with names containing special characters not recognized by Trados.

Every time I try to open a package, it is stored in a temporary folder (i.e. the number changes every time) so I can't rename the files so that I can open them:

 Highlighted temporary folder path in file explorer where Trados stores return packages with unrecognized special characters in file names.

  • Hello

    Please try to import the files manually.

    Every Studio package is essentially a compressed file, and therefore can be extracted like a zip file to access its content in Windows Explorer. If you have 7-Zip, right-click on the package and extract the contents to a folder, or first change the extension (.sdlrpx) to .zip and then extract the file. 
    Among the extracted files you will see a subfolder with the target language abbreviation. Take this file and copy+paste it into the Studio project folder, in the target language subfolder of the given project. Then when you open the file in Studio you will see the returned file.
    (Feel free to first create a backup version of the original target file before overwriting it.)

    Hope this helps.

    Looking forward to hearing back from you.

    Best wishes,
    Greta
