I get the same error with word documents (v2003 and v2007, in the package from client and after creating a project myself). The error occures not by saving the target, but -if I get this error- the TM seems not to work, neither concordance search nor saving into the TM. Trados professionals couldn't answer me what the problem, even after investigating of the package. But they have the same problem. ▲ Collapse

What I did to fix this problem was I opened the file in EXCEL and copied the contents to a new file. Then, I opened the worksheet in Studio and used the TMs I just generated when I initially translated. Then all you do is "save the target...".
Hope it helps...

| No elegant solution | Aug 28, 2012 |
It happened to me as well, always with excel files. I use Studio 2009.
The first time I was able to solve it, the excel sheet contained some Autoshapes with text inside and some tags appeared also in Studio. The only way to solve it was inserting those specific source segments to target. Fortunately, they were only a few and I could translate them with no significant impact after I finalized and exported.

Fortunately, they were only a few and I could translate them with no significant impact after I finalized and exported.
The second time, it was with a BIG excel sheet, which I found out I couldn't clear when I had already finished. There was nothing I could do then. I had to go over it again by hand.
Third time was just today. Fortunately I realized just when I was starting.
Then I read this post. Just for the sake of trying if it worked (the damage was aleady done), I tried with Options/Tools.... and enabled all the optional content. Nothing.
I followed Mansur's suggestion and pasted the content into a new file. The pasting format was a bit distorted and I managed to recreate it the same way it was in the original. It worked finally and I was able to export it. BUT I ALREADY HAD TRANSLATED IT BY HAND.
It's a crying shame that TRADOS is putting so little effort in solving such silly bugs just like this. It is way too expensive to afford this type of "slips of the mind". My co-workers tease me all the time for being the "TRADOS trouble-shooter" in the group, since I have jumped through hoops to solve many whimsical bugs that Studio causes so often, but this time I've really had enough of this software. I confess that I was once "deeply in love" with TRados, but now I'm seriously considering to migrate to another type of CAT Tool, as soon as I manage to get rid of the "customer lock-in" that SDL has exerted on me.
This degree of unreliability is really annoying and furthermore unacceptable.
On the other hand, it's unbelievable that SDL, having created such a revolutionary tool with so many utilities and applications, let their product cause such an outrage on their users.
Over-confident? You're losing believers by the hour, and judging by the big bunch of posts on Studio 2011 support, it seems that the new version is no better than the previous ones. ▲ Collapse

| Existing project - added a second TM caused this error | Oct 18, 2012 |
I added a second TM part-way through a translation (this should be possible, it´s supposedly a feature that you can use more than one TM). I kept getting this error when I moved my cursor into a new segment and couldn't continue.
I removed the new TM, exported the segments to a TMX file and imported them into my previously existing/in-use TM (with different field values to distinguish it) and the problem was solved.
Apparently this came from having identical segments with id...

Apparently this came from having identical segments with identical indices in different TMs... Not sure, but that´s what it looked like.
I have to agree with other posters here, for the price of Studio, the product is quite buggy and the fact that you have to pay extra for support for a buggy product makes it unattractive. I am also looking at other products, and if a client doesn´t request Trados, I will try using something else to avoid this type of issue.
I just wanted to post this in case someone else gets it.
Regards,
Hope ▲ Collapse

Hi,
If you do have a problem with Studio that is preventing you from working, as you did, then this is eligible for free support. We have the Solution Finder in the SDL Knowledgebase that allows you to generate a support case for things like this.
Regards
Paul

| Fixed it - somewhat | Jul 24, 2014 |
Managed to create project packages when I excluded the TMs we have from the project. Now I just have to send the TMs separate an ask the translators to attach them separately.

We have seen this error with Excel files. Sometimes it's the Individual 'Sheet' names in Excel that cause some errors. If you can find the names of the sheets/tabs and change that back to the source language, see if that works. It has helped us SOMEtimes.
