Error: detecting hexadecimal error value 0x00 is an invalid character. Line 1, position 1

Today I use Trados Studo (2014) to translate a word 2007 file and save and exit the Studio with half of the contents being translated. Several hours later I reopen the saved XLIFF file, but the Studio reports error as somewhat "detecting hexadecimal error value 0x00 is an invalid character. Line 1, position 1" (as I am using Studio Chinese version, so this message is just an essential translation). After I click the OK button, the file fails to be opened. Is there be any solution to address this problem? Highly appreciated for any constructive suggestion.

  • Hi Kenneth,

    It sounds as though the sdlxliff has been corrupted, possibly because of temp files being wiped as part of a cleanup happenning in the background of your computer. Best solution is probably to open the source again and pretranslate from your TM to get back to where you were.

    Mighth be worth looking at your background processes to see what might be causing this? AV checks, clean up utilities etc...

    Actually I am a newbie to Trados and would you please tell me what TM stands for? How can I navigate to this TM in the work space?
