SDL Translation Memory File
You're here because you have a file that has a file extension ending in .sldtm. Files with the file extension .sldtm can only be launched by certain applications. It's possible that .sldtm files are data files rather than documents or media, which means they're not meant to be viewed at all.
what is a .sldtm file?
An SDL translation memory file is implemented with encoding specifications proprietary to SDL, and these encoding standards are used for the SLDTM file format. The content of an SDL translation memory file is also integrated with data storage compilation standards used in files appended with the .sldtm extension. Generally classified as a data file, an SDL translation memory file is created and used by the SDL Trados Studio language translation application. Linguistic databases constantly populated with new entries, additions and changes or updated translation data from the input of users that employ the functionalities integrated into the SDL Trados Studio language translation program for translating data are called "translation memories". These translation memories are categorized by this application into two classifications, namely "fuzzy matches" and "100% matches". This also means as users continue employing the set of features available in the SDL Trados Studio language translation application for translating written content into different languages, these translation memories are steadily populated with new entries and corrected with appropriate data, making it more efficient in translating written data as more time passes.
how to open a .sldtm file?
Launch a .sldtm file, or any other file on your PC, by double-clicking it. If your file associations are set up correctly, the application that's meant to open your .sldtm file will open it. It's possible you may need to download or purchase the correct application. It's also possible that you have the correct application on your PC, but .sldtm files aren't yet associated with it. In this case, when you try to open a .sldtm file, you can tell Windows which application is the correct one for that file. From then on, opening a .sldtm file will open the correct application.

SDL Trados Studio
SDL Trados Studio
SDL Trados Studio is a translation memory tool that provides translation memory and terminology management. It is a software that displays sources and translates its file type by providing the most extensive file format support available in order for it to be able to open and work on a wide range of projects from the latest Microsoft Office file formats to XML. It features AutosSuggest with sub-segment matching suggestions, RevLex, a translation memory engine that has Contect Match for improved concordance searching. It can make suggestions based on source content for translating in any file format with QuickPlace, and if there is no translation match for a particular segment, it can be automatically translated using Automated Translation. Languages, files and deadlines are located in a centralized location for managing and preparing projects using a customizable project wizard that automatically functions for repeated tasks. The software automatically provides word counts, analysis and reports that are created and stored with the project in order for the users to keep track of their progress, they can also review, accept or decline changes with Track Changes, and a real-time QA will check and highlight possible errors in punctuation, terminology and inconsistencies automatically. The software has a selection of apps and plug-ins available, including SDLXLIFF Converter, which allows reviewing of translations in MS Word. It supports industry standards such as XLIFF for bilingual files, TMX for translation memories and TBX for terminology databases.a word of warning
Be careful not to rename the extension on .sldtm files, or any other files. This will not change the file type. Only special conversion software can change a file from one file type to another.
what is a file extension?
A file extension is the set of three or four characters at the end of a filename; in this case, .sldtm. File extensions tell you what type of file it is, and tell Windows what programs can open it. Windows often associates a default program to each file extension, so that when you double-click the file, the program launches automatically. When that program is no longer on your PC, you can sometimes get an error when you try to open the associated file.
