Why can't I finalize my project?

LINDA SCARO

I am using the Trados integration with XTRF. The project manager uploaded the return package, but the finalization cannot be completed because of the following error messages. I understand this is already an issue that has been discussed on ProZ, but I am hoping for a quick fix. The project contains 27 documents. All source documents were in Word. 

Also, oddly enough, the es-US (target) folder for the project contains all 27 target language Word documents. Does this mean that the finalization actually took place? I am worried that the files that are present are not the finalized (signed-off) files. Please help!

Exception caught while executing job GenerateTargetFilesJob: Error during generation target translations: There are multiple errors:

1. SDL Trados Studio has returned an error. Please read details: SDL Trados Studio Message: Name cannot begin with the '<' character, hexadecimal value 0x3C. Line 2, position 2490. SDL Trados Studio Source: Sdl.FileTypeSupport.Filters.Word.FrameworkImpl.Generator.FileWriter

2. SDL Trados Studio has returned an error. Please read details: SDL Trados Studio Message: Name cannot begin with the '<' character, hexadecimal value 0x3C. Line 2, position 2490. For more information please check 'Task History' in SDL Trados Studio. It can be found in the 'View' tab.

    It seems that the target folder does not contain all 27, but rather 26 target files. We'll keep working on the problem file, but if anyone has comments, please feel free to respond!

    Hi Linda,

    It sounds as though the target sdlxliff for one of the files is corrupted for some reason.  Can you open the sdlxliff that won't save separately as a single file project and save it from there or do you get the same error message?

    Do you have the original source file?  To troubleshoot files try these articles:

    How to troubleshoot issues with generating your target file in SDL Trados Studio :

    How to troubleshoot problematic files :

    More often, the solution to these problems is resolved like this:

    • Open the source file again using the "Translate Single Document" process
    • Save it to create a single file project
    • Try to save target now before you do anything.  If it works go onto the next step, but if it doesn't then you need to consider the more advanced trouble shooting steps in the KB article as it may be a problem with the source file
    • Pretranslate the file using your Translation Memory
    • Save the target file

    If none of that helps, and if you are allowed to share the file you can send me the fully translated sdlxliff and the original source file and I'll happily take a look.

    Regards
