Error message "Le paramètre n'est pas valide" (something like "parameter is not valid")

Inge Julien

Hi to all,

I downloaded an update this week and since then, I have an error message every 2 or 3 minutes when I'm translating.

The message says "Le paramètre n'est pas valide" (something like "parameter is not valid"). It blocks the program, I can't enter any text anymore, I have to close and reopen Trados but it keeps starting over again.

Anyone in the community who knows how I can fix this?

Any help would be much appreciated,

Thanks,

Inge

    Hi

    You could use this app for the reset and this will also explain what you will lose by carrying out a reset before you do it. As you said the update was this week I'll assume you are using Studio 2017:

    appstore.sdl.com/.../

    But if you'd rather do this manually then rename this folder (just add _old to the end or something, it's not important what you rename it to) and restart Studio:

    c:\Users\[USERNAME]\AppData\Roaming\SDL\SDL Trados Studio\14.0.0.0

    So the path would become this:

    c:\Users\[USERNAME]\AppData\Roaming\SDL\SDL Trados Studio\14.0.0.0_old

    If you can't find this folder then you need to unhide your hidden files/folders:

    Hi Paul,

    I have got the same error message "Parameter is not valid" than Inge Julien.
    It often appears when I enter a "d" or a "l" or when I use the shortcut to insert a tag.

    I noticed it appears since I downloaded and installed SDL Trados Studio 2019 SR1. 

    Could you please help me to solve this issue?

    I tried the solution of Alison Field (repair Studio from the Control Panel) but it did not work.

    I downloaded and installed SDL Freshstart and repaired all the SDL files/folders listed in this app' but it did not work too.

    I renamed 2 of the 3 roaming folder I have, but I still get the error message "Parameter is not valid"...

    I will really appreciate your help!

    Thanks in advance

    Marie, did you ever get a solution for that problem? I am getting the same issue and nobody seems to know how to fix this. I've tried everything they have suggested, to no avail. I am getting really frustrated with Studio 2019.

    What version are you running?  There was a fix for this issue released in 2019 SR2 CU4 so it would be useful to know what version you are one.  Actual number of the latest versions are these:

    SDL Trados Studio 2019 SR2 - 15.2.4.1693

    SDL MultiTerm 2019 - 15.0.4.56053

    Apologies for not responding... I didn't even see this response.  It can be a good idea, if you tag a post onto an existing thread, to refer to someone by starting their name with the @ symbol and this will ensure they get a notification.

    Did you manage to sort this one out?

    I am on version 2019 SR2-15.2.0.1041. Looks like I have an update to make. I will take care of it this weekend and keeping my fingers crossed that it will resolve the issue.

    Thank you for responding. I will keep trying all the options until resolved.
