This is most likely your problem and the file could be corrupt.  You could try moving your project to a local, non-shared drive, and try again but I think you'll probably have to recreate your project to resolve this.   If you're lucky the sdlxliff could be used in a perfect match operation so you don't lose everything, and maybe even used to update a TM if perfect match didn't work.  But if neither work you'll definitely have to recreate the project.

Sorry' i don't understand any of this. This is a file with 3,000 strings, I cannot recreate the project as you say.

None of it?  ok...

1. create a new Studio project with your source file
2. Take the sdlxliff from your target folder of the original project and either Perfect Match it (batch task) or import it into a TM and pre-translate your new project from that

If that doesn't work you'll probably have to start again.

OR... sometimes, you can simply create a new project using the sdlxliff files from the target language folder of the original project.  That will often work and can save the project.

Ok, thank you, your final suggestion worked.
