Error on target generation PPTX 'Failed to save target content: An error occurred while parsing EntityName.'

Hi,

On generating the target file for a Powerpoint PPTX file, I am getting the error mentioned above. There are no illegal ampersands neither in the SDLXLIFF file itself, nor in the path name.

Checked in SDLXLIFF with regex '&(?!amp|quot|apos|lt|gt)'

The position indicated in the error message seems to point to "<doc-info xmlns="http://sdl.com/FileTypes/SdlXliff/1.0">", which is of course not the problem.

The workaround that we used was to downsave the presentation to PPT and use perfect match to transfer the translations. The PPT could be exported fine.

I am aware there is a plugin developed by Jesse Good called "Fail Safe Task", which could have detected this beforehand. However, I think it should be self-evident that files that can be imported can also be exported. If the file cannot be exported, the import should simply fail.

Hi Lennart Tondeleir ,

Can you try simply opening the original source file in Studio as a new project and immediately save as target without translating anything. Does that work? If it does then the problem is more likely to be associated with temporary files somewhere than the powerpoint file itself.

I know you said you downsaved and used perfect match but did you try the same file again and use perfect match? If you still have the problem like this can you share the powerpoint perhaps so we can investigate it for a bug?

Hi Paul,

Thank you for your reply. I had tried reimporting the same file before downsaving, that didn't solve the issue. Opening the source file with Translate Single Document doesn't either.

I have sent you the PPTX by email.

Best regards,
Lennart

Hi Lennart Tondeleir ,

Apologies for the delayed response. I tested your file in Studio 2017 with the new filtype and it processes without any problems. I also tested in the latest version of 2015 (you are running an old one) and it failed in there with the same error you get. So I think this is a problem that has been resolved by using the new powerpoint filetype that is part of Studio 2017. It's unlikely we will release another update for 2015 at this stage, at least it won't be for some months if at all so your best bet if possible is to upgrade.

Regards

Paul
