Not Considering

This is not a feature request, nor it is a bug.

Please let trados studio be able to handle the sdlxliff documents created by previous version of trados studio.

Please let trados studio be able to handle the sdlxliff documents created by previous version of trados studio.

We received some documents created by other partners. After we finished the translation, we try to generate the target translation, but we received error report like this and can not continue the translation work.

 

 

Besides, when we try to verify the document with the "verify" in "review" of trados stuido, we received error report like this.

 

We are frustrated about this. Could you please tell me what is the cause for this unexpected error? Can you fix the bugs?

Besides, in some articles,  I found that this might be due to the sdlxliff documents created by early or previous version of trados studio. However, It is necessary for the latest version of trados studio can handle all the sdlxliff documents created by early or previous version of trados studio such as trados studio 2015 or earlier version.

Just imagine, if a translation company working with trados studio has survive for more than 10 years, they even can not handle the previous sdlxliff documents created in the past with different versions of trados studio.

Even today, the Microsoft office 365 with the latest version or all the Microsoft office version can handle the old version of word 2003 document. Will each version of trados studios be useful for only several years?

    I was referring to us using this solution not you!  The solution for you is to not even try to save the target file if it's clear yo don't have the correct filetype.

    To use previous sdlxliff documents for future reference you put them in a TM, or use them for Perfect Match.

    Dear Mr. PAUL,

    Thank you for your reply, but the error can not be suppressed. if I cotinue to click the next step, trados studio will show something like this, which means we can not generate the target translation with the old sdlxliff documents. So how are we going to deal with all the previous sdlxliff  documents stored in the computer for future reference or modification. 

  • I don't believe this is a bug.  The problem is the sdlxliff was created using a version of Trados Studio that was too old so the appropriate settings required for that version are not available for you.  To fix this would require all the older versions of the filetypes to be installed on every version of Trados Studio which is not practical, and in some cases not even going to be possible.  You can always work with the sdlxliff files, you will just not be able to save the target files, or carry out some QA tasks.

    I think the most appropriate solution if we can't fully support older filetypes is to at least suppress the errors as they are meaningless.  You can still QA more important tasks around the translation itself.
