Can not save a file, or save it as target in Studio 2009 Thread poster: Stephanie Ezrol
|
|---|
I have never seen this error before. I created a TM as I usually do and loaded a .docx document as I have done many times, but when I tried to save the document using File, Save, it opened the Save As dialog box with the suggested file name. When I clicked the Save button I got the following message:
Failed to save target content: Could not find file (with the full name Trados suggested).
I tried changing it to a short name and that didn't make any difference.

I tried File, Save Target As, and got the same message:

Hopefully I am just missing some obvious here, but this is really bad. Thanks in advance for any help I can get on this one. ▲ Collapse

It happened to me. Before you import the Word file into Studio, make sure all links within the file are DISABLED.

Thanks Catherine. There are links. Because I wasn't sure if I would get help, I have been using Trados and pasting each segment into a target .docx file that I created.
Can I delete or disable the links from the source file in Trados? Or do I have to clean up the source file in the .docx and then start again from the beginning?
Sorry if it's a stupid question, but much of Trados is an unknown to me.

Before opening it inside Trados to translate, run a batch called "Pre-translate file" (or alike).

Since you hopefully generated earlier a translation memory, and since this new file to be translated may be almost equal to the older file that originates this error, this batch translates every segment that was previously translated by you!
In other words, suppose you first translated 45,666% of all segments. Then, this batch could translate nearly 45,666% - or a little bit fewer.

Thank you very much Catherine, and thanks also to Wolf for offering to help.
I closed Trados not being able to save the work I had done in Trados. I found the links in the .docx file and reloaded that file into Trados. Wow ! Was I suprised when Trados found all the work that I had done in the TM and automatically translated those segments that I had translated as context matches.
Thanks again. It's really wonderful when a problem can be solved simply and elegantly.
