If you by "trados format" mean sdlxliff, it should be no problem.
If you mean a Studio package, you have to unzip it with a zip tool like 7-zip (easiest to change the extension to .zip) and find the target language folder. There should be one or more sdlxliff files there that you can open in other CAT tools.
