Hi This may be a very basic question. I have just started work for an agency that wants me to use Trados (which I haven't previously) and basically they expect me to use it immediately! I have successfully opened a file they have sent me (sdlxliff) in Trados but am getting the message that I can't save the translation as a target language file because of the file definition - XML-avec contenu-HTML.

... they created the SDLXLIFF based on a custom XML filetype. If you don't have this filetype on your system then you won't be able to save the target file. You can translate the file, you can save the SDLXLIFF, but you will not be able to recreate the target XML file.
It's not really a problem, just send them the SDLXLIFF back and they will be able to recreate the target.
