Hello
I have Trados Studio 2024 and we have just started using Schema ST4. I was able to import the filtetype settings for Schema ST4 and translate the first document, but now I need to import the ST4_language_xml settings file and I get this error message:
Quanos, the provider from ST4, says this is a Trados problem. So, can anyone please help?
Thanks a lot,
Christina
Your file type list already contains Schema ST4. Why do you want to import the settings again?

Hi Jerzy
Sorry, I wasn't accurate enough. The ST4_language_xml is a specific type of XML that has all the metadata and background information for a particular language. Its structure is different from the ST4 xml file, which is used for translating the actual document.
I was able to import the first file (ST4.sdlftsettings) and translate the document. But I need to import the second file (ST4_language_xml.sdlftsettings) to be able to translate the language-specific contents and metadata as well.
I have Trados Studio 2024 Professional - 18.0.1.2259.
I understand. Who has created the file type in question? It is based on old xml file type settings, which are no longer supported by Trados Studio. You might however try to create a new file type and import this FT settings in the 3rd step.

If you have been provided with an sdlftsettings file do you know what version of Trados Studio it was created for? Based on the error message it suggests it was created using the old XML format that is no longer available in the 2024 version. The old and new have run together for many versions so users have had plenty of opportunity to upgrade them... eventually they need to be upgraded and with the 2024 release that available time is gone.
So your options are these... probably:

Thank you, Paul!
I have never had this problem before because this is the very first Schema ST4 document that I had to translate. All other XML files worked perfectly.
I'll get in touch with Quanos and see if they can prepare a settings file for the 2024 XML 2.0 version.
Thanks again for your help

ok - is it really that complicated a file?

I'm still waiting for an answer from Quanos...
There are two files that I have to import in Trados: the xml control file (resource file) and the actual xml language file. Perhaps it's not really a complicated file, but for me (no expert at all!) its difficult to know which one I have to use if I have to go for option 2 and create my own xml settings file.
So, I think I'll wait a little bit longer for Quanos to provide this sdlftsettings file. Otherwise, I'll have to go for option 2... (not really thrilled)

Might be easier than you think... feel free to send me one of these files you don't have settings for. I'd be happy to take a look - pfilkin at sdl dot com

Just to wrap this up, and because Christina Zangger confirmed the content in the video is not private, here's the solution:
