Resaving a file as a target. Error.

Benoit Boulay

When I try to resave as a target a file that has been reviewed using Retrofit, I get this error: "Failed to save target content. Please check ObjectRegistry for." Why?

    Hi Claire,

    Just checking the obvious... you did rename the backup first before trying to open it? So make sure the extension is sdlxliff and not backup001... or whatever number you are on?

    If you did can you try opening the sdlxliff backup file separately from your project, so take a copy and just use the single document approach as if this is a new project using the sdlxliff as source.

    Regards

    Paul

    Hi Paul,
    Sorry, I've only just seen your reply; I didn't receive a notification for some reason. And yes, it did eventually click that I had to rename the file to open it, so I was able to work on the back-up and do the changes manually. I've still no idea why the Retrofit document wouldn't save back though; it rather puts me off using it in future. There were a couple of comments in the tracked changes file - could that have caused the problem?
    Many thanks,
    Claire

    I've just implemented that solution, but with one variant: I didn't open a single-file project, and instead, I opened a New Folder in the existing project, and I input to it the renamed backup file. It is important *beforehand* to update the Main and Project memories using the initial, i.e. "retrofitted" SDLXLIFF file. And when pretranslating the "salvaged" SDLXLIFF file, select the "Always overwrite existing translation" radio button, and check the "Overwrite perfect match translations" box. Set the Minimum Match at something like 95%. In any event, some translated segments may need tinkering, to insert tags and so on. It is wise to perform checks to see whether all the segments have been translated, and whether the "retrofit" changes have been implemented in the "salvaged" SDLXLIFF target segments.

    I look forward in due course to downloading a fix for this snag, for which many advance thanks :)

    With kind regards,
