Excel giving "an error with same key has already been added"

Hi, I received the error in the subject line when trying to SAVE TARGET AS for an Excel file I had translated. From a suggestion in another forum, I recreated a new xliff from the original source file in case there was corruption somewhere. I ran it against the TM and retranslated it. Then, I tried to SAVE TARGET AS again with the new file but it still gives the same error: "an error with same key has already been added" 

Any additional suggestions? Thanks!

  • Hi Eve,

    If you open as a single file project and immediately save target without Pre translating does it work? If it doesn't then you will either need to try a different version of excel or trouble shoot the file by divide and conquer. Just split the file in Excel and test both halves. Then split the one that fails and test again. It's surprisingly fast even with the biggest of files and may help you find the problem part of the file. Even if you don't identify exactly where the problem is you should be able to exclude parts to get the translation out and then finish the file manually.

    Regards
