"Invalid character in the given coding"

Mats Linder

No matter which termbase I try to open -- even the sample ones included in the SDL software -- I get an error message which translates into "There is an invalid character in the given coding. Row 1, position 25."

This is extremely annoying, since I certainly don't want to go through each and every termbase to correct this (even if I knew what the error is, which of course I do not). Since all these termbases worked fine with MT 2015, the error must be with MT 2017. What should I do?

    Hi Mats,

    If this happens with every termbase you try to use does this happen in every template? So if you use a custom Project template does this happen then too, or is it just with the default template? Perhaps you can try renaming the default template so it gets recreated and then try again with a new project.

    c:\Users\[USERNAME]\Documents\Studio 2017\Project Templates\Default.sdltpl

    I'm assuming you mean open in Studio as you have posted into the Studio forum and not the Multiterm one?

    Regards

    Hi Mats

    I have logged a support case for you: 00215609 - someone will be in touch to help you with this issue.

    Btw - are you able to create\open new TermBases? or are you just having issues with existing ones?

    Thanks

    I have the exact same problem. Termbase created with MultiTerm 2017 opens fine in MultiTerm. After adding anything to it through Studio (2017), MultiTerm can't open it anymore but gives this error:

    Invalid character in the given encoding. Line 1, position 25.

    This is super annoying and completely breaks my workflow!

    Even the sample termbase from Studio 2015 (...\Documents\Studio 2015\Projects\Samples\SampleProject\Termbase\Printer.sdltb) gives this error, if that is any help for the developers. I never touched that file since installing Studio 015.

    Please make a support case for me too by the way.
