Error when trying to generate Preview in Studio 2017: Value cannot be null. Parameter name: stream

Tina Klitgaard over 4 years ago

I am no longer able to generate preview of xlf files. I get this error message:

Error message window in Trados Studio stating 'Value cannot be null. Parameter name: stream' with an OK button.

I recently updated to this version:

Version information for SDL Trados Studio 2017 SR1 - 14.1.10016.54660 displayed at the bottom of the program window.

One of our linguist is having the same problem with this version:

14.1.10017.54688

Some of my colleagues have

14.1.10011.20356

and it runs without problems.

This problem is new, so we suspect it is a problem with the later versions. Can you fix the bug urgently, or can we downgrade to a fully functional version?

This is rather urgent!

thanks

Hello Tina Klitgaard ,

It would be helpful if you could post the full error stack please as this provides a lot of information-

Here is a community Wiki that explains the type of information we need and how to post it -

https://community.sdl.com/product-groups/translationproductivity/w/customer-experience/4159/how-to-get-help-quickly-in-the-sdl-community-technical-forums

Also please explain exactly when you get this message and if you are using perhaps Worldserver or Groupshare etc.

Hi Steven,

I work in Tina's team and I'm the linguist she mentioned is being affected.

We work with translation files that are fed into Trados in XML format. During translation of the files, we need to access the original file as it contains specific XML fields allowing us to get additional info on the legal context of specific words and expressions. To do so, with a segment selected, we go to "View" and then click onto "Preview" (the eye icon) and a panel gets prompted on the right:

Trados Studio interface showing an error message in a red box stating 'El valor no puede ser nulo. Nombre del par metro: stream' when trying to access the 'Origin' tab in the preview panel.

The issue is that when we try to click onto the "Origin" tab (to see the useful hidden contents of the original file fed into Trados), an error message is prompted (the one mentioned by Tina - mine is in Spanish): Close-up of the error message in Trados Studio with the 'Origin' tab selected, displaying 'El valor no puede ser nulo. Nombre del par metro: stream' in a red-bordered dialog box.

She uses Worldserver to import the exported XML data into Trados. I'm the linguist so I don't have a clear overview of what happens before I get the Trados package. In any case, I hope I could provide you with additional information for troubleshooting or understanding what the issue is, when it occurs and how it can be fixed. Also, as mentioned in a previous comment, this seams to affect only those Trados files that have been generated from an XML, as I don't have this issue when I attempt to access the preview of a Trados file generated from a Word document:

Trados Studio screenshot showing the 'Preview' panel on the right with the 'Origin' tab selected, but without any visible error message.

Please find attached the requested full stack error.
