"An item with the same key has already been added" error message when migrating TMs

Elisa Wenceslá

Hi all,

I have seen this error message in the forum but regarding to TermBases, translation, back conversion, etc. but in my case I'm having it when migrating some TMs at a certain point, which makes he migration fail.

I use the option "Import translation units as plain text" for most of the migrations and they work fine. However, for a specific TM I had to remove that option as that was the only way I could migrate the TM from Trados 2007 to Studio 2017 or Studio 2014.

Did anyone else face this problem? Does any of you know why this happens?

Thanks and kind regards,

    Hi Paul,

    Yes, I know what you mean but that would involve migrating my TMs manually, which is what I expect to avoid (we have quite a lot). I also tried exporting to TMX and importing to Studio manually but I had the same issue as that's what Studio does anyway. I could not find anything in the TMX thou.

    In fact I was asking for some sort of explanation why the migration didn't work until I disabled the option "Import translation units as plain text", just in case anyone knows...

    This problem was solved in the end but I would like to know if anyone else had this issue and know the reason :-)
