Question

The actual problem for which I need support is as follows: When I try to translate a MIF file under FrameMaker 22 as a single document, I get an error message when trying to save the file in the target format, stating that the file is being used by another process and cannot be accessed. It seems that Trados overwrites and erases the contents of the source MIF file, as it now has 0 KB contents and cannot be opened under FrameMaker. 
 I am sure that the file is actually not used by another process and is not open when traying to save it under the target format. So what is wrong? Is Trados unable to handle MIF files under FrameMaker 22? What can I do to get the translated file into the target format? 
 Best regards, Volker

 There are a few ways to generate the translated document: 
 
 Batch Tasks > Finalize 
 Batch Tasks > Export Files 
 Batch Tasks > Generate Target Translations 
 Editor > File > Save Target As 
 
 You didn&rsquo;t say which method you use&hellip; If you are using the 4th method, ensure you add a prefix/suffix to the file name, such as tr or translated , so you know it&rsquo;s the one translated an also to not try to overwrite the file opened by Trados Studio itself. Does it work?

Trados Studio > 1. Trados Studio
