Hello
I am trying to translate a single Word file (Office 2010) with SDL Trados 2009 in Trial mode.
I just want to test the product before upgrading.
An annoying question keeps popping up every three or four words as I type the translation in the Editor:

"Question
All documents must be saved before creating a package.
Do you want to save documents and continue creating a package?
Yes/No"

Hello
I am trying to translate a single Word file (Office 2010) with SDL Trados 2009 in Trial mode.

An annoying question keeps popping up every three or four words as I type the translation in the Editor:

"Question
All documents must be saved before creating a package.
Do you want to save documents and continue creating a package?
Yes/No"

Actually, I do not want to create a package, a project or whatever.
I have opened a single file and I just want to translate it and save it as a target document.
I tried answering No, answering Yes, saving the source document, saving the target document, saving all documents, but the question keeps coming and coming. I found nothing in SDL knowledge base.
Has anyone ever encountered such problem? Thank you.

Windows 7 64 bits, Office 2010 32 bits, SDL Trados 2009

Can't say I've seen this... May 9, 2011

... on the basis of your description.

To work as you have described should require these steps (or similar).

1. Go to home page
2. Select the Open Document icon in the middle
3. Select your language pair and your TM (if you're using one)
4. Start translating

I just tried again following the procedure you mentioned.
1. Go to home page
2. Select the Open Document icon in the middle. (On the left actually)
3. Select language pair and TM
4. Start translating. Now a Warning displays: "One or more of the translatable files in this project have been finalized and cannot be added to the package. Please revert these files to a bilingual format before creating the package". I am stuck there.

Thank you for your help.

I think you are mixing up a few things here... May 9, 2011

... because you would only get the message about finalize if you were trying to reopen a Project File that had been completed.

I would be happy to take a quick look with you at what you are doing if you have time now? Drop me a mail at [email protected] and let me know. I think this would be faster than the guess work.

Regards

Paul

Assigning a keyboard shortcut did the trick May 13, 2011

Apparently there was some kind of miscommunication between my keyboard and Trados.
Paul quickly determined the problem and solved it by assigning a keyboard shortcut to the task that Trados mistakenly thought I wanted to perform.
Sorry I can't remember all the details because I am new to all the commands and menus.
Everything seems to work fine now. Thank you, Paul!

Getting this recurring prompt in Studio 2011 Mar 30, 2013

I'm wondering what keyboard (re)assignment was used to resolve this problem as it is extremely annoying, distracting and time-wasting. The prompt keeps popping up in the middle of just about every project I'm working on, and I'm wondering if anyone had a solution for this.

Working with Studio 2011, SP2, beginner.

Thanks very much.

Try the Tools Menu Mar 31, 2013

Sorry, as I wrote above, I just can't remember the details, but since keyboard shortcuts are involved, maybe you can try the following.

Go to :

Tools>Options>Keyboard Shortcuts>Projects

The "Keyboard Shortcuts - Project" dialog box displays.

As you can see in the dialog box, you can associate a keyboard shortcut to the "Create Project Package" action.

In your case, is there any key or key combination associated with this action ?

In my case, it is F6.

Maybe you can try to assign the F6 key to the "Create Project Package" action and see if the prompt keeps popping up when you type your translations.

I hope this helps.

same problem Apr 4, 2013

I am facing the same problem, nevertheless, this message appears on my screen each time I move my laptop... it's really annoying. I tried assigning a keyboard shortcut for Create package.. but that did not solve my problem. I really need a solution for this.
I mention that I am using Windows 8 which is also designed for touchscreen and I think that maybe it's a setting or something of the OS... even though I see that others using windows 7 are facing the same problem.

solved it Apr 4, 2013

This has really got on my nerves today.
What I said previously about assigning keyboard shortcuts worked for the first error. Initially.. it asked me about creating a new package... I assigned a shortcut to this ... then I noticed it asked me about creating a studio 2009 package.. I assigned a shortcut to this one too.... then another message popped out... and so on....
So I assigned keyboard shortcuts to all possible actions under the Tools - Options - Keyboard shortcuts menu... a

Hope this works for others facing the same issue!!!

This helped me too! Oct 8, 2013

Just in case there are some Trados developers reading this: I had the exact same problem, drove me CRAZY. I'm so glad I found this thread, now I can finally get on with my translation! Thanks!

Same problem with me, but can't solve Apr 24, 2014

Paul, this is happening with me too. In my case, every time I type the slash "/", I get the message. I tried to assign a shortcut to it in the Projects shortcuts, but without any success. Mine is Studio 2014. Thank you!
