Error "la séquence ne contient aucun élément" when trying to open an existing project

Hello,

I worked on a large SDLXLIFF file yesterday, but I cannot open it today.

I get the error "la séquence ne contient aucun élément". Please see the error file attached.

I am using SDL Trados Studio 2019 (Freelance) SR2 - 15.2.7.2849 in Windows 10 Professional. I installed a Trados upgrade two days ago.

Can you help me?

Many thanks,

Isabelle

  • Your solution is interesting, but I would like to avoid recreating the whole project because it contains several other files (in a tree structure) which are being processed (translation stage).

    I think the problem is caused by processing of the temp files that Studio uses with anti-virus or maybe some other security software... maybe even as a result of working on the files in something like OneDrive where the backup can be problematic since it's not managed by Studio, but rather by an application you are using (OneDrive, Dropbox etc.)

    Because of this I think you either recreate for that one file at least, or you do the whole project.  Either the sdlproj has the problem in which case this solution should help, or the sdlxliff is corrupt in which case this solution should help.

    I don't know another solution I'm afraid.  Maybe someone else will have a good idea.
