The error message is far too generic for anyone to help you with this.  You need to provide:

1. an explanation of what you are doing when this happens
2. a copy of the full error message and not just the title or a screenshot of the error message with the title

I managed to continue working, but one particular segment in the document causes this error. When I try to edit or confirm it, the document freezes and the error appears. It could have something to do with the target language, the document was set to a variant of the target language which doesn't exist anymore (st-Latn-CS) - Serbian, Latin, Former Serbia and Montenegro. I don't have this as an option in my list of target languages, only SR-Latn-RS (Serbia). This also seems to affect the TM.

Thank you for your help.

Thank you.

Can you copy the document, then remove everything in the copy of the document apart from the single paragraph where this sentence is.  Then test that file and if the problem still occurs can you share that file with the single paragraph in it?

No, I don't have the original document, just the sdlxliff. It just happened again in another segment, and both segments have numerical elements which can be inserted just like tags.

Hi Paul, 

exactly just like Maja we encounter this error only from a particular segment (65), see XML:

It's a translation from cs-CZ to sr-Latn-CS. Interestingly, this error from segment 65 onwards is reported by Studio 2021, in which the project was created, but in Studio 2017 this segment passes without error.

Thanks in advance for any response.

Better to create new threads than piggy back on things this old. If we do need to convert to a case we can't do it here as we have an automated system based on the original post.

I guess that was a response ;-)

So... can we se the source XML file?

Can you confirm where the project was created... in which version of Studio?

Can you save the target file immediately after creating a new project and without translating anything in the file?

Perhaps you can create a new thread and answer these questions as well as providing the error stack?
