Target text cannot be saved. Message: "Erweiterungsfunktionen können keine Nullwerte zurückgeben"

I cannot to save the target text from a Trados 2017 project and I get an error message saying "Zieltext konnte nicht gespeichert werden. Erweiterungsfunktionen können keine Nullwerte zurückgeben".  The same happens opening the untouched package on another computer with Trados 2015. Does anybody know, what that means and how to fix it?

  • Hello ,
    The original document to translate, was it a pdf? I have got this message with a complex pdf. When I did the repair via PerfectMatch I saw that the pdf conversion in Studio 2017 (containing strictly all updates) was different from the xliff I got initially. Despite of the PerfectMatch-procedure I had to copy a lot of segments from the broken xliff. I presume SDL introduced changements (specially in the tagging) in the pdf-conversion during the latest updates which produce this incongruities.
    If you dont have the professional version of Studio 2017 (PerfectMatch exists only in pro) you should restart your project from scratch and introduce the existing segments via pretranslate.
    Good luck
