    Hi ,

    It sounds as though the problem is this one:

    gateway.sdl.com/.../communityknowledge

    Have you ever been able to open this file? Have you added comments into the file while translating? Is it one file or are you opening several at the same time as one?

    Regards

    Paul

    Hi Paul,
    Thanks for answering.

    Actually, the problem happens with almost every files, not SDLXLIFF files. I try to "translate a single document" and to open a PDF, Word or Power Point document, and then I get the error message.
    If I create a project of the file it seems to work even though for PDF files I don't get PDF in the formats of the Save Target as, but only word.

    I'm not sure how the article you sent me can help on this one.

    Best regards,

    Yael

    Well it doesn't even open it. I get immediately this error message and I don't see any SDLXLIFF created in the Folder where the file is located as a result of the tentative to open the file.

    There is no save as PDF.  This is because the PDF filetype actually converts the PDF to Word and then you are really working on a Word file.  If you want to be able to save as a PDF then you either save the Word file as a PDF or use a different workflow... for example:

    Please can you share the full error stack?

    Hi ,

    Can you try removing your TMs from your File -> Options so that when you use the single document workflow there are no TMs added or attempted.

    Thank you

    Paul

    I'm not sure what you want me to do?
    I see that in Default Task Sequence, it's written Prepare without project TM. I don"t see anything else. Is it there ?
  • 0 in reply to Y A
    Go to File -> Options -> Language pairs -> All Language Pairs -> Translation Memory and Automated Translation and make sure you do not have any TMs in there. So remove or disable any you have. Then try again.

    If that works then please also go to File -> Options -> Editor -> Languages and make sure that the language set in there matches the languages of the TMs you want to use. Then add your TMs back again.

    See if that helps.

    Paul

    Hi ,

    ok - please can you try a reset. Rename this folder (just add _old to the end or something, it's not important what you rename it to) and restart Studio:

    c:\Users\[USERNAME]\AppData\Roaming\SDL\SDL Trados Studio\12.0.0.0
