Hi, 
 I completed a review project and I am trying to save sdlxliff file as a target in xlf format. But I always receive "sequence contains no elements" error so I can't save the file as an xlf file. What should I do?

Hi Pinar Ates , 
 
First try disabling your termbase if you have one installed. If you don't then open the sdlxliff file as a separate single file project and try to save the target from there.

Hi Pinar Ates , 
 
Maybe try opening the orignal source file again as a new project, pre-translate from your TM and save the target. See if this works. 
 
If it doesn't can you share the files? If you can please send me the fully translated sdlxliff and the original source file - pfilkin@sdl.com 
 
Thank you

Hi Sofie De Spiegeleer , 
 
What version of Word, what version of Studio and which filetype did you actually use to handle the file? Can you share the source file and your fully translated sdlxliff?

Hi Sofie De Spiegeleer , 
 
I sent you a new sdlxliff file created using your source document and the older Word filetype in Studio 2017. This handled the file without any problems. Might be worth reviewing this article on the different Word filetypes available to you:
