error saving target file

Question

hi 
 
 i have been working on an extensive project split in 4. and in 1 case i even exported a d&laquo;few days ago the target file- i had a jhunch, just to be sure, each night i would export the target file and update. all was ok. today i started to get an "sdl xliff validation error at line -i.e. 3017 offset" and some 7 digit numbers follow after each error line. the error is maximum severity, i can no longer export anything in trados, all of a sudden, and please don&acute;t tell me to go through line by line retrab&laquo;nslation of a 21600 word project! 
 the error in word: 
 .xml parsing error 
 location line 2 125911 
 what do i do? i can no longer use the program, but would at least like to recover all my work so far... i just bought this in june... 
 
 thank you in advance

Hi M. G. , 
 
Can you open the sdlxliff files in your project as if they were single file projects and save the target from there? If not then I think your only option is this (not line by line): 
 
- prepare a new project with your source files 
- add the Translation memory you used for the original project 
- run the pretranslate batch task on all the files 
- now you should be back to what you had translated before 
 
See if this helps. 
 
Regards

Hi M. G. , 
 
Can you share your project with me? Main thing is that I have the original source files and your fully translated sdlxliff files. You can send them to pfilkin@sdl.com or send me a link to dropbox or something if they are too large to email.
