xlf file opening error SDL STUDIO 2015

Michelle Mc Colgan

Hi there,

I seem to constantly have issues with xlf file types and in this case I can't ask the client for assistance as they are new and I want to impress. I'm also running behind on the project.

When trying to create the project with Studio 2015, after adding the xlf file to the project and clicking next, the following error messages appear:

Pre-scanning failed to identify the file type, the following messages were generated:

Pre-scanning error: The xliff start tag on line 2 position 2 does not match the end tag of body Line 2, position 470758.

Pre-scanning warning: unexpected error when detecting file type for : file name. The xliff start tag on line 2 position 2 does not match the end tag of body Line 2, position 470758.

Any help with this asap would be much appreciated. It's a large project due on Thursday and is split between one other translator and myself. I need to get on with it!

Many thanks,

Michelle

    Hi Michelle,

    This is most likely due to the fact that the xlf file is not well-formed. See what is at this location by opening it in a text editor (I would suggest Notepad 2) and go to line 2, position 2. What tag is located in this position? Ensure that there is a closing version of this tag. So, for example, if the tag is <xliff>, look for a </xliff>. You can then check out Line 2, position 470758 (you can press Ctrl+G for this). If the tag is not the correct </xliff>, for this example, then you might need to reorder tags. Sometimes you can do this with just a couple tags and sometimes the file is just too poorly formed to fix.

    Please feel free to email this file or Skype me at lhipsher@sdl.com if you would like.


    Thank you
