Hi,
I am getting an error message (Object reference not set to an instance of an object) when trying to generate a target translation in Studio 2014.
I have already tried some of the solutions mentioned in the forum but none worked...
Any ideas?
Here is what I have tried already…..
If Studio starts, but shows the error message Object reference not set to an instance of an object when you switch between different dialogs and views:
- Open Studio.
- Activate the view where the error occurs (for example the Editor view).
- Click View > Reset Window Layout.
- Click OK to confirm resetting the window layout.
If the error message still appears after following the steps above, follow the instructions under Solution 2 below.
