"an item with the same key has already been added"

DGS

Good afternoon, I'm using Trados Studio 2017.

I can't save the target file. I get the message "an item with the same key has already been added (in Spanish "ya se agregó un elemento con la misma clave" (an item with the same key has already been added).

Could you please help.

    Hi again

    Well, I've been trying this and that since I first posted my message and I finally found a solution that worked: I erased all the figures from the original Word file, I created a new project and then it was possible for me to save the target file!

    Best regards,

    Diana

    Hi Diana,

    Excellent! Well done for finding a solution yourself! It is very often the case that something in the Word file causes this type of error so you have to go back to the Word file and find out what that is.

    When you say 'figures', do you mean images or numbers? Images and icons (plus other possibly externally-introduced content such as a spreadsheet or content linked to a website, for example) can cause problems. Saving a copy of the Word file then deleting the images from that then creating a new project with that solves the problem. It's always wise to try saving to Target before beginning work on a Word translation if it contains anything beyond straight text, so that you don't have to go through the process of retranslation.

    Afterwards, the removed content can be copied from the original file and pasted back into the translated file.

    I'm glad you found the workaround so quickly.
    All the best!
