Hello,

I'm sorry to hear that you're experiencing issues with Trados Studio. Based on the error message you're receiving, it seems like there might be a problem with the alignment of your files. Here are some steps you can try to resolve this issue:

Step 1: Try to save your work in a different format. Instead of .sdlalign or .sdlxliff, try saving it as a .tmx file. This might allow you to save your work without encountering the error.

Step 2: If you're still unable to save your work, you might want to try manually checking the alignment of your files. Scroll through your document and look for any areas where the source and target text don't match up. This could be causing the error.

Step 3: If you find any misaligned segments, try to correct them manually. Once you've done this, try to save your work again.

Step 4: If you're still encountering the error, it might be worth trying to recreate the alignment in a new project. This can sometimes resolve issues caused by corrupted files or errors in the original alignment.

Please note that these are just suggestions and might not resolve your issue. If you're still having trouble, it might be worth reaching out to a professional for further assistance.

I hope this helps and you're able to resolve your issue soon!

Best regards,

Did not help

I'm sorry to hear that the previous steps didn't resolve your issue. Let's try a different approach:

Step 1: Open the problematic .sdlxliff file in Trados Studio. If you get a message that says "Dependency file not found", click "Yes" and follow the instructions in the Knowledge Base article.

Step 2: If the above step doesn't work, try to recreate the .sdlxliff file and use the Perfect Match or Pre-translate tasks to re-translate the file. Here's how:

a. Open the original source file in Trados Studio (use the same segmentation rules that you used in your project/corrupt .sdlxliff)

b. Use Batch Tasks > Apply Perfect Match and point to the corrupt sdlxliff file. The statuses of the segments will show as PM.

c. If step b doesn't work, start over and use your Translation Memory (TM) to pre-translate the original source file. If the TM is not available, create a new, empty TM, import the corrupt .sdlxliff into it, and use that to pre-translate.

I hope these steps help you resolve the issue. If you're still having trouble, it might be best to consult with a Trados Studio expert or a professional in the field.

Does not apply, since I do not have an .sdlxliff file.
