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?

1. Inspect the first 3–5 lines of the .xlf and confirm version and namespace.

2. 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 

here this what you're looking for?

">www.w3.org/.../XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xtm="urn:xliff-xtm-extensions" version="1.2" xsi:schemaLocation="urn:oasis:names:tc:xliff:document:1.2 ">www.xtm-intl.com/.../xliff-core-1.2-transitional.xsd"><file source-language="en-US" target-language="fr-FR" datatype="xml" original="227803c6b5f74b28b9aa26e13bd95611" xtm:xliff-identifier="2852d2422c0f44efb326193f14329c40" product-name="XTM International Limited xml:tm" product-version="2.0" tool="xtm-intl_XLIFF_Extract" xml:space="default" xtm:populate-target-with-source="no"><header><skl><internal-file crc="13a6a4b3">

The validator did find one issue:

Error : InvalidXml
Line : 1
Message : Invalid '[ "xliff", "file", "header", "skl", "internal-file"]' found.

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

<?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" xsi:schemaLocation="urn:oasis:names:tc:xliff:document:1.2 ">www.xtm-intl.com/.../xliff-core-1.2-transitional.xsd"><file source-language="en-US" target-language="fr-FR" datatype="xml" original="227803c6b5f74b28b9aa26e13bd95611" xtm:xliff-identifier="2852d2422c0f44efb326193f14329c40" product-name="XTM International Limited xml:tm" product-version="2.0" tool="xtm-intl_XLIFF_Extract" xml:space="default" xtm:populate-target-with-source="no"><header><skl><internal-file crc="13a6a4b3">

That file is invalid.

Required fixes:

1. Bind the namespace. Your file had xmlns:xsi="". Must be xmlns:xsi="">www.w3.org/.../XMLSchema-instance".

2. Make xsi:schemaLocation a valid two-token value.  Yours split the second token outside the attribute:
   xsi:schemaLocation="urn:oasis:names:tc:xliff:document:1.2 ">www.xtm-intl.com/.../xliff-core-1.2-transitional.xsd"
   It must be inside the quotes as a pair:
   xsi:schemaLocation="urn:oasis:names:tc:xliff:document:1.2 ">www.xtm-intl.com/.../xliff-core-1.2-transitional.xsd".

So this will open (although there are no translations in it of course!)

Paul 

Thank you.

So you mean : if I replace with this fixed version at the proper place in my xlf file, I'll  have a working file?

I'm sorry if I don't always understand, but I must admit this is getting too complex for me.

 Aubeline Brandamir 

I can only confirm the header as I don’t know what else might be wrong with the file.

If you want to send me the full filel I can take a look for you?

Paul 

Noted.

I sent you the file via DM
