Hello Anna,

The error message you're encountering is typically due to duplicate IDs in your source file. Trados Studio requires unique IDs for each segment to function correctly. Here's how you can resolve this issue:

Step 1: Open the source file in a text editor (like Notepad++ or Sublime Text).

Step 2: Use the 'Find' function (usually Ctrl+F) and enter the ID that's causing the problem (in this case, “ME:1215137_29865874435551285”).

Step 3: If you find more than one instance of this ID, you'll need to change one or more of them to make each ID unique.

Step 4: Save the changes to your source file.

Step 5: Try to open the updated source file in Trados Studio again.

Please note that you should be careful when editing the source file, as incorrect changes can cause further issues. If you're not comfortable doing this, you might want to ask the person who provided the file to correct the issue.

Problem solved - thanks anyway!

Hi, I wonder if someone might be able to help me... I've received the same error message as above but the ID is just '1' 

I've checked the source file and ID 1 features multiple times linked to different English text, when I do a pseudo translate in Trados it will let me export the files, but when the file is in a live project it won't.

I've two projects ongoing using the same file, but each project is a different target language. The projects also contain two similar xlfs which have no issues at all.

Does anyone have any suggestions as to why this file won't export, I'd be reluctant to edit the source file myself...

Many thanks,

Daisy
