Verification error : Sequence contains more than one matching element

Cristi Necula

Hello everyone, 

I have spent quite some time on trying to figure this out on my own yet I could not reach a solution. 

I have received a TBX file from a client out of which I have created a multiterm Termbase. The provided TBX contains allowed and forbidden terms. I have set these up as a pick list in order to use the verification check in studio for a translated file. 

Screenshot of Trados Studio showing Descriptive Fields with a picklist for 'State concept' including 'allowed', 'prohibited', and 'not decided'.

If I run the verification check as normal I run into no issues. By as normal I mean with the following settings in studio:

Screenshot of Trados Studio verification criteria settings with options for checking non-usage of target terms and forbidden terms.

As soon as I change the setting to include the distinction between allowed and prohibited i cannot run the verification check anymore.

Like so : 

Screenshot highlighting the 'Select forbidden values' setting in Trados Studio with 'prohibited' checked under verification criteria.

This is the error i receive in studio when verifying my file with the above setting (stack trace included in case needed) : 

Error message in Trados Studio stating 'Sequence contains more than one matching element' with a stack trace of system details.

I have found this article about the issues : https://gateway.rws.com/csm?id=kb_article_view&sysparm_article=KB0030918 but it does not really give me a path to solving it as I cannot find duplicate terms and I am making sure I do not ignore sublanguages when creating the termbase. 

Any help with this would be greatly appreciated. I have tried this in both Studio 2019 and Studio 2015 

I would be able to provide the files in question but on a public forum. 

Regards,
Cristian

    Hi Paul,

    Thank you very much for taking a look at this.

    Here is the requested screenshot.

    Regarding the point in the article I can confirm as follows:

    • your termbase has more than one sub-language for a main language. For example English (United Kingdom) and English (United States). Not applicable

    • the XML file you import into the termbase contains for example English (United Kingdom) and English (United States) entries that each have same terms. The distinction from en-GB to en-US is made via a descriptive field in the TBX I was provided with,  while the actual languages of the TBX are only 2   and . Therefore I do not think this applies. I have not actually added this descriptive field in the termbase as I do not think it is relevant for the purpose of my test.

    • on page Step 3 - Validation Settings of the SDL MultiTerm Desktop/Administrator Import Wizard, the Ignore sub-languages option is ticked/enabled/active. Not applicable

    • it was not considered to create a custom import definition to import converted (via SDL MultiTerm Convert) terminology into the existing  Termbase and avoid the import of existing/duplicate terms. Not applicable

    Let me know what you think and thank you once again.

    can you share your termbase with me?

    Thank you for sharing your termbase.  It all looks fine to me, and I don't get any errors.  So, I think you need to check what version of Studio you are running.  Apologies, I should have checked this already.  It's important to have compatible Studio and MultiTerm too.  These are the latest supported versions:

    SDL Trados Studio 2019 SR2 - 15.2.5.2145
    SDL MultiTerm 2019 - 15.0.5.56289


    SDL Trados Studio 2017 SR1 - 14.1.10018.54792
    SDL MultiTerm 2017 SR1 - 14.2.8.55461

    Hi Paul,

    Thanks again for taking a look.

    This is very interesting. I have a partial result. I can now run the verification using the batch task function, I have inserted a prohibited term just to verify if everything is working properly and this is the result:

    Trados Studio task results showing failed verification with 18 errors and 21 warnings, including a prohibited term error for 'Teleprogramm'.

    It works !

    However, if I actually open the file in the studio editor and run the verification from there I still receive the same error.

    Error message in Trados Studio stating 'Failed to verify document: Sequence contains more than one matching element'.

    This is definitely a step forward as I can use the verification report itself but im still wondering what exactly is going on in the editor.

    Thank you again!
