Cannot add Local TM to project מפרסם התגובה: Megan Martin

Hello,
My new colleague is having an issue adding our TM to Deja Vu projects.
She keeps getting this error message:
"Deja Vu was unable to open the file you specified"
I can add this TM to Deja Vu projects on my computer without issue.
Any advice please?

Hi,
Sure.
This type of error can mean one or several required TM files are missing from your colleague's location.
The local TM in a Deja Vu project should have the following structure:
1. File name.dvmdb
2. File name.[source language code].dvmdi
3. File name.[target language code].dvmdi
4. File name.dvmdx
So if you copy the "File name".dvmdb only to a new location, Deja Vu will throw an error - something like 'Unable to open the data... See more Hi,

Whenever I've had a misbehaving TM or TB, I would repair it. Some with a project. Unlike other CAT tools, DVX3 lets you repair projects, translation memories and termbases. I would suggest your colleague to get in that habit.
Also, let's not forget that Atril has published user guides. Get in the habit of consulting them: https://bityl.co/S9FI

Thanks all. She managed to add the TM but no matches appeared in the target segments after she did pretranslate. I have used the same TM and source file and got lots of exact matches, so not sure what the issue is now!

You might want to double-check your project, TM and 'Pretranslate' settings. Please PM me if you need further guidance.

Silly me encountered a similar situation in the past whenever I used Spain-Spanish in one TM and US Spanish in a similar TM. What languages are your team using then?
I know most project managers show an appalling incompetence when talking about languages for a project: they say they need a French translator but you have to poke them in the sides to reveal which French variety: Canadian, Parisian, etc.
