Message: "Can't find part of a path" in response to attempt to save a target version of an SDLXLIFF in the Studio editor mode - re-start from scratch in Project mode

Adam Warren

I was disconcerted to be confronted with this message when seeking to save the target version of a single-file only project. I scanned the solutions available from the RWS KB. After some attempts to follow the folder and file creations there, I judged that it would be better to exit the application, and make a fully-fledged project and start the translation from scratch. It would be wise to save the "outgoing " SDLXLIFF file before doing this. But I did succeed in saving the pretranslated file in target format in the Project mode, without the error message popping up.

I hope this suggestion will help those similarly flummoxed by arcane error messages about non-existent Temp files.

With bst wishes,

Adam Warren

    What do you mean by "outgoing SDLXLIFF file" ?
    The SDLXLIFF file is bilingual and basically contains all the translation work you did in a project, in this sense, it is both ingoing and outgoing.

    If you save this file at the beginning of your work by hitting CTRL-S, which is best practice, you can always recover your project, whatever happens. 

    In addition, Studio saves a copy of this file in the AutoSave folder every 10 minutes by default.

    I'm sorry. I'm afraid I was rather telegraphic in my wording.

    I mean that it's important to save the SDLXLIFF file previously generated - in single-file mode - from which I couldn't extract the target file, so that it won't be overwritten in project mode. 

    You would then save time by re-using this first SDLXLIFF file in the project mode, if possible.

    If that fails, of course, then a pre-translate yielding the newly-generated SDLXLIFF file, in project mode, would be necessary, but that would entail and end-to-end check of the resulting target file.

    I hope that has made matters clearer.

    With kind regards,

    Adam.
