Issue With Generating Xliffs After Re-Installation

Hi,

I have recently activated my Trados licence on a new computer and am having trouble using the TMs I have. I get the error message 'An item with the same key has already been added'

I need help with  this urgently as I have a big project that I need to launch asap.

Many thanks.

    ok - my bad.  I think the place you need to look is scroll right here:

    Task Results window in Trados Studio showing an error message: 'An item with the same key has already been added.' A red arrow points to the error details section.

    Sorry for the small images but you are only giving me very small screenshots.  Have you tried simply copy/pasting the images in?  I never upload them!

    So, scroll across to the right and there may be a link to the error file.  That's what I'm looking for as it should give us a lot more information to help identify where your problem is coming from.

  • Unfortunately, I keep trying to copy and paste the screenshots but I get an error message saying that I can't do it. The same with uploading a Word doc with the images embedded.

    When I click on the exception tab it states that an item with the same key has already been added. The origin is Apply PerfectMatch+Pre-translate files +Analyze Files

    Does that help?

    Not really.  I'm off on leave and need to log off now, so I'll log a case and hopefully the support team will be able to assist you.  They may not as it doesn't technically fall under the assistance they provide without a support contract, but will try anyway.
