Studio 2011 - Saving problem

Hi,
I'm facing a problem with Studio 2011. I've translated a .docx document, but when I try to save target as .docx, I receive the following error message: "Failed to save target content: riferimento a un oggetto non impostato su un’istanza di oggetto". I was able to save a .docx target file several times during my work, but now this saving problem has suddenly occured. I can't understand where the problem is. Can anybody help?

  • Hi Chiara,

    To troubleshoot files try these articles:

    How to troubleshoot issues with generating your target file in SDL Trados Studio : http://goo.gl/gW6X6

    How to troubleshoot problematic files : http://goo.gl/Mlodc

    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
    - 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.

  • Hi Paul,
    Thank you very much for your precious help! I've been trying several solutions, but finally I only managed to solve the problem by creating a new project as you suggested.

    I followed the steps you suggested:
    - 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 (and it properly worked!)
    - Go onto the next step
    - Pretranslate the file using your Translation Memory
    - Save the target file

    This solution successfully allowed me to save the final target text as a .docx file!!! Thank you very much!
