Trados Studio 2014 Error: Wrong local header Nov 20, 2014

Hello Hazel,

I got this error today when trying to extract a package: "An error ocurred extracting the package. Wrong local header". I think it is the same error you mention in your message. Were you able to solve it? (I did not have any problems when opening other packages, so I do not know why this is different. I received the package via e-mail).

Thank you in advance.

Not sure Nov 20, 2014

Can't actually remember Amelia, sorry! I must have worked it out eventually, Trados never usually beats me!

But one thing to try is to create your project directly on the C drive, or a folder on the C drive with a very short name, just in case it has anything to do with the length of the folder and file names.

FIX: Wrong local header signature error Mar 7

Not sure if this fixes all instances of this error, but the problem in my case was a .jpeg
image file in the document, the image was corrupt (0 KB in size). Replacing the image corrected the problem.
