Hello,
I'm unable to upload a XLF file to Studio 2024. I believe the issue may be specific to the file at hand, as I was safely able to add other ones some time ago.
The error message is below
Although the file type does appear in my Project settings:
Has anyone been able to solve a similar issue?
Thank you
Has anyone been able to solve a similar issue?
No.
If you open the XLF file with Notepad or Notepad++, you’ll see in the header the source and target languages. Could you check it is something like this?
source-language="en-GB" target-language="es-ES"
Do the language codes consist of 4 letters plus the hyphen?
If everything seems OK, try downloading the XLF file again from XTM.
Hello Jesús Prieto
I have this <file source-language="en-US" target-language="fr-FR"
so it seems perfectly fine.
I've already tried and downloaded/uploaded the file twice as I thought it could simply be a temporary bug. But same issue.
Can you check these?
Inspect the first 3–5 lines of the .xlf and confirm version and namespace.
Validate XML well-formedness - make sure it's a complete file. Easiest way is to load the XLF into here and click validate - https://codebeautify.org/xmlvalidator
It's report where the problem is... if there is one!
If you paste the first 20 lines of the file here that could also help.

Hi Paul

The validator did find one issue
:
Error : InvalidXml
Line : 1

This is strange as it a straight forward export from XTM
These are the 2 lines you should find in your XLF file until the 1.2 version:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xliff xmlns="urn:oasis:names:tc:xliff:document:1.2" xmlns:metrics="urn:lisa-metrics-tags" xmlns:term="urn:xliff-term-extensions" xmlns:xref="urn:xmlintl-xref" xmlns:xsi="">www.w3.org/.../XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xtm="urn:xliff-xtm-extensions" version="1.2"
I think if you copy this text (or you grab it from any old XLF) to your XLF, it’ll be fine.
Anyway I’m thinking that you may have issues after all: everyting goes well in Trados Studio, you translate it and create the target XLF but XLF may fial to import your target XLF. So I’d first try to Generate again the XLIFF in XTM, download the new version, and check that header is OK this time.

These see to be my first lines. Sorry, it was complicated in NotePad++ but I can see much better in the validator tool Paul shared
