 The application seems to be trying the original source file here: 
 C:\Users\a.boi.INTERFAX\Desktop\TEMP\______pal 05.11.2023\SMS_Manuali\ProSSM_B A0454_Manuali_32_pretrasl GB-SPA\en-GB\2712_Coil Lifter_es_(TS)-tr.docx 
 Is it there?

 That depends. If the original source file is embedded into the sdlxliff when the project is created, and this can be controlled by whoever set up the project in the sdlxliff filetype settings, then you will always be able to save the files yourself. If the source file is just referenced (which will happen automatically if the source file is larger than the value set for embedding in the sdlxliff filetype) and then the sdlxliff file is available to you without the source file (as seems to be the case for you) then you may not be able to. 
 A lot of this is down to how the project is prepared and more importantly how the project is shared with others to work on it. If the work is always sent as a package, and source files are not removed from the original project folder before sending the package (or even a zipped up folder or just sdlxliff files) then life is pretty much easy. But as soon as you start to mess around and don't really know what you're doing then problems like this can occur.
