Troubleshoot BGL Files


Typical BGL Opening Challenges

Babylon Disappeared

Double-clicking your BGL file prompts the message "%%os%% Can't Open BGL File". When this happens, it is commonly due to Babylon missing in %%os%%. This will prevent you from double-clicking to open the BGL file because the OS doesn’t know how to handle it.


Tip: When another BGL application is installed, you can choose to open it by selecting "Show Apps" and using that program.


Babylon is Out-of-Date

It is possible that your version of Babylon isn't able to open your Babylon Glossary File file due to incompatibility. Installing the latest version of Babylon from Babylon Software Ltd. is recommended. This problem is predominately due to having a Babylon Glossary File file version that was created by a newer version of Babylon than what you have installed on your PC.


Tip: Find clues on the correct software version by right-clicking your BGL file and clicking "Properties".


Summary: Not having the right Babylon version on your computer can cause problems opening BGL files.


More Causes of Problems Opening BGLs

In the majority of cases, installing the right version of Babylon will resolve your issue. There can be other issues - unrelated to software - preventing you from opening BGL files. These other problems include (listed in order from most to least common):

  • Your BGL file is corrupted (issues with your Babylon Glossary File file itself)
