How to open Source_en_US_2011-03-08 1240.stf file??

Hi,

 

can anyone tell me, how to open this file in our computer to see its content?

 It is an exported source file.

 

Thanks in advance!

I somewhat wish you would write more than a single sentence.  No, I haven't used Translation Workbench, but as a certified Salesforce developer I have access to some other things which you may not.  What I would like you to do is to explain where you found the file, what steps you took.  Then I'll try to reproduce the same steps and see if I can help you.

 

But since you mentioned Translation Workbench, I decided to give that a once over.  So it exports in the format you said:

 

S—Source export option, for example: Source_en_US_2010-09-23_11:20.stf.

 

And there is another note on the export page that says:

 

Source - Produces one .csv file that contains all of the text that is translatable

 

So rename your STF to CSV and it should open just fine in Microsoft Excel or OpenOffice Calc.

Where did you find such a strange file?  Based on a Google search it's either something to do with MS Acess or it's some other very strange formats liek FileMaker.  I also wondered if it was STUFF IT.

@vagish Did you find the solution to open the stf file, as I am using Translation workbench and cannot seem to open it either.
