Target file stuck at "Saving Target Content" - Help!!

Question

Hi colleagues! I have a problem: I translated an Excel file with Studio 2015 and when I try to obtain the target the process stops at the "Saving Target Content" stage and gets simply stuck there. No error message, but no target is produced. The source is apparently a simple set of tables with text and numbers, as any Excel table. Any suggestion on how to obtain the target? Thanks a lot for your help!! Client is waiting for delivery... :-(

Hi Valeria, 
 
Can you open the Excel file as a single file project and see if it will save before you do any translation work? If it won't then you're going to have to troubleshoot the file first. If it will, then pretranslate from your TM and try again. 
 
To troubleshoot the excel file, if this is necessary 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.
