There are usually two reasons for this message.  If you created the project yourself, with the original source files, then you should not normally see this.  However if you have security software running, that is not seeing Trados Studio as an allowable application, can strip the temporary files used in background and cause this message to appear.  This is more problematic because you'll need to resolve this to be able to get your target translations out.  Not insurmountable, but you will need to recreate the project in most cases.

The other reason sounds like the one you have.  This is simply normal behaviour if you don't have the source and it is not embedded in the project.  Moving the ruler to 100Mb under "Embedding" won't do anything because this is only going to make a difference when the project is created.  The good news is that this won't affect your client t all.  It just means you won't be able to save the target file or use preview and maybe some verification options.

Hi Paul, thank you for the prompt help. Well, yes, I suppose it has something to do with the Malwarebytes or CCleaner. I am going to check the settings of these two programs later on, but what worries me most now is my current translation file. Could you please confirm I can simply go on translating as usual and normally deliver it (.sdlxliff file) upon finishing?

Many thanks,

Daniela

Also, when I reopened the file hitting No, I noticed my memory wasn't there anymore so I had to add it again.

apologies if this wasn’t clear enough.

so yes, you can go on translating and simply return the package to to your client when you’re done.

Thank you, Paul. It was clear. I just needed the final confirmation because I really went into panic last night. My deadline is tomorrow and I couldn't open the file :-)
