TagEditor/In-Design error: unexepected error during backward conversion Thread poster: tommy3shoes
|
|---|
I have recently processed a number of INX files with the Trados TagEditor. With two (so far) I get the following error message when trying to generate the translated INX file:
"Unexpected error during backward conversion EndOfInput () Please check the log file"
I can't find a log file anywhere.
I would greatly appreciate any help in solving this problem.
Thank you!

I got worried reading this posting and tried to Save Target as to an inx-file. The same error.

Please check if inx and ttx are in the same folder.

As it says in the forum FAQ; always mention the versions and file formats of all software when posting.
Obviously, you have to type in the path to a log file in the Cleanup dialog windows, if you want any log file to be saved. This is Trados basics.
What version of Indesign were the INX files created with? What version of Trados are you running? Who created the TTX, you or the client?
Post the answers here and I can follow up...

Well. I'm not the initiator of this thread, but I use SDLX Trados 2007. Save Target to should save an inx-file, but does not. I even tried conversion to SDLX int, installed the trial version of Adobe Indesign, but the file sdlx saved cannot be opened by Indesign. Something missing, it complains.
My customer is already used to these problems with ID and Trados. Nothing unusual.
Cheers
Heinrich

I'm using SDLX Trados 2007.
The INX files were created with CS2 4.0.4.
I created the TTX file.
Thanks for your help!

| INX files hell in Trados | Mar 18, 2008 |
Hi all, usually there is nothing else you can do about this but try to export your TM as TMX, import it into a different tool (Transit, across), have the source files retranslated and perform the cleanup there.
All types of error messages related to INX cleanup have one simple cause: poorly prepared InDesign file. Trados gives a long description on this in the Knowledge Base 2 Beta (to be found under your profile on Translationzone.com).

Try downloading the latest version of the InDesign filter from Knowledge Base 2 Beta and cleaning up the files again.
I'm afraid there is nothing else you can do. ▲ Collapse

Hello Stanislav,
Thank you very much for your advice. I installed the new filter from the Knowledge Base and everything is working perfectly now.

Hmm, you should be good, since all versions are compatible.
Maybe the first workaround is to follow Stanislav's advice.
But you could also open the source file again and restranslate against your TM. Activate strict tag verification and run "translate to fuzzy".

| The problem is caused by internal (red) tags | Mar 25, 2008 |
I had the same problem with the inx file (CS3) in the latest TagEditor (8.2.0.835). After a thorough check I found out that internal tags in some target segments didn't match the internal tags in the source segements (for example: some closing tags were missing or an extra set of tags was added). After fixing those tags I could clean the file without any errors.

Hi Alexandre,
this is usually not the problem because most translators check tag integrity during the actual process of translating. I can assure you that problems with INX files emerge even if there are no mistakes in tags as reported by Trados QA Checker or Xerox Plugin.
There are some "best practices" to avoid problems, such as:
1. Ask your client to remove any soft returns, styles and embedded graphics before creating the INX file
2. Before you start translating, try to re-export the INX file you opened in TagEditor to see whether an export will be possible after you're finished with the translation. If the untranslated file does not export, something is wrong and you shouldn't even start translating.
3. Avoid shrinking and expanding segments
4. Do not leave the space between any pair of tags empty (insert at least a space or a fullstop)
There are some other useful hints in Trados KB. But even if I stick to those, I sometimes have problems cleaning up INX files.
And I doubt this will be any better in future, because as you probably know, Trados resolved support of InDesign CS3 by offering a third-party (damn expensive) plugin.

| MAYBE A NEW FORUM? | Mar 25, 2008 |
I think there are so many of us experiencing INX-related problems that it might be a good idea to create a separate forum for InDesign-related issues.
And I would reeeaaally like to invite Trados representatives to join it!

Hey Stanislav,
I didn't know this! Do you have an URL or other info about the plugin?

This is the case for QuarkXPress 7.0, but InDesign does not use any plug-ins at the moment.
On the other hand InDesign itself is not my favourite tool and not really stable ...
Best regards

| I was just about to post the exact same question! | Mar 25, 2008 |
Hello,
I am also having trouble. I went back through the document and corrected a couple of tag mismatches. I then cleaned the document and apparently it cleaned fine this time because there were no error messages but I notice that the Interchange file was not updated, it still shows that it was last saved sometime last week. If there is anyone who could help.....please.....
