SDL Trados Studio: Dependency file not found

Daniel Elmnas

Hi everyone,

I wonder what does "SDL Trados Studio: Dependency file not found" Mean?

I did read the documentation and it's still very unclear to me.

However, when you want to use the real-time preview in your translation, or File > Save Target As to create your target file, you receive the same question as when you opened the package for the same document(s). Since the package does not necessarily contain the original source document, you cannot perform these interactive actions.

Source: 

What is you not able to do?

Is it to preview the orignal-file while translating (example)?

How can you avoid from this common problem?

Thank you in advance

    I came across this issue in a project with 132 files, where the biggest source XML file was 406 Kb big, so the file size wasn't the root cause of the issue.

    Due to the big number of project files, opening them one by one and correct the path to the source file manually was out of question.

    I figured out a rather simple fix with the help of a regular expression and a grep tool (PowerGREP in my case), but it should be possible in an editor like Notepad++ as well:
    It is sufficient to replace the data in <external-file href=… with the path you find under <file original="…".

    Sample from an .sdlxliff file header:

    BEFORE:
    <file original="\\ITP\projects\Client\12-3456_Client_Project\en-GB\Source_file.xml" datatype="x-sdlfilterframework2" source-language="en-GB" target-language="ja-JP"><header><reference><external-file href="file://C:\Users\ah\AppData\Local\Temp\utfjaxht.ibi\wr5az2ef.hyn.xml"

    AFTER:
    <file original="\\ITP\projects\Client\12-3456_Client_Project\en-GB\Source_file.xml" datatype="x-sdlfilterframework2" source-language="en-GB" target-language="ja-JP"><header><reference><external-file href="\\ITP\projects\Client\12-3456_Client_Project\en-GB\Source_file.xml"
