problems producing final file for delivery

Mary Carroll Richer La Fleche

Hi, I've just completed a 4 week technical file translation and I can't download the translated file.

I get a message from Word saying

"We're sorry we can't open this file...because we found a problem with its content.

Details XML parsing error

Location ...line 2 column ....

I really need to deliver this job, I don't get it, I went through it all again, and it's a very long job, but I can't find the way to get around this problem.

Hoping someone is out there...

Thanks, Carroll

    Hi ,

    I guess the first thing to check is whether this happens with a new project using this source file, and before you even start translating. So test the file to see whether the problem is the Studio conversion by opening a new file for translation, immediately save target and then try and open it.

    If it's a problem like this then it would be useful to know what version of Studio you are using and also which Word filetype you used for the conversion in Studio?

    If it's not a problem like that, then create a new project and try handling the word file with a different filetype. In Studio 2017 you have several. This article may help:

    multifarious.filkin.com/.../

    Another thing to confirm is the version of Word you are using? If you have an old version, and if you used Studio 2017 and the latest Word filetype, then this could be a problem you are encountering in your version of Word. There may not be a problem with the file if you pass it to someone with a more recent version of Word.

    See if something here will help you? If it doesn't, and if you're ok with it, please feel free to send me the translated sdlxliff and the original source file - pfilkin@sdl.com - and I'll take a look and see if I can get a working file out.

    Hi Paul, I luckily saved a version where I had reached almost 90 % and am now just copying and pasting the last few pages. I use a recent Word version, 2016, and my SDL is 2017 so I don't think that's the problem. It's just that these files were pdf files originally and they're full of tables and diagrams, etc. I had done 85% and the whole program crashed leaving me with 50% saved previously. These technical files can be tricky, that's why I like Trados, producing the final file automatically is a true time saver. Thanks again for your help, I wish I had a bit more technical knowledge of computers...Have a good weekend, Carroll
