Error: Failed to save target content: Placeholder was moved. Thread poster: Joanna Wachowiak-Finlaison

I have just translated a fairly large bilingual workbench file in Studio 2011 and when I'm trying to do "Save target as" this is the error I'm getting (Failed to save content: Placeholder was moved.

The "Translated" statistics on the bottom is showing 104.38% (while that makes me feel good about my 'over 100% efficiency', it is, obviously, an indication of an error).
The file was pre-translated by the agency and before starting to work on it, I made sure "Save target as" is working properly.
Help?

| Identical problems on Trados 2009 since last week-end | May 14, 2012 |
I am also getting the same error message and wrong percentage on my Trados 2009.
This is a new strange behavior which I never had before and, if I am not wrong, it happened consistently with sdlxliff files derived from ttx, mif and docx files.
The last was a short docx with absolutely no visible tags in it. The only difference is that it refers to a missing tag bookmarkstart if="0" name="_GoBack/" in segment 17 (which is the last segment.)

The same error keep appearing even if I copy the all original text in the target column (with alt +ins) and confirm each TU in this way!

I'm having the same problem as Joanna, with a pretranslated file. All tags in place, no tag errors.
I'm goin' nuts..
Anyone out there with a solution?
| | | |
I have to disappoint you, I haven't found a solution to the problem. Jerzy Czopik very kindly had a look at it and even he could not figure it out. Ended up manually copy/pasting the translation into the file opened in word. All one hundred and seventy pages of it. Talk about repetitive stress injury on my wrist... Has not happened with any other file yet though. /fingerscrossed

It's not regular but it happens, mainly for large complex files, and the Trados error messages are completely useless.
If you want ot isolate the problem, split the file in two.
Pretranslate.
If the export of one of the parts fails, split it in two.
Pretranslate.
Etc.
When you think it's enough, just stop.
You'll have less segments to copy and paste.

I'm glad I'm not alone in having this error, I resorted to manually copying and pasting translation for delivery last night.
I now have the 2nd half of the same doc to do today - fun!
Does anyone know if this is a known bug or if it can be raised with SDL... I have browsed around the KB and 'My Support' area but all paths lead back to the KB and a search, which doesn't really help me!
Cheers

| the same problem :( | May 24, 2012 |
Hi All,
I am new to Trados. Have translated a Framemaker file (11994 words) and it just told me that the software is unable to save the file.
Precisely:
"Tag początkowy 'para' w wierszu 1 nie pasuje do tagu końcowego cf. Wiersz 1 pozycja 5042.
I don't have that many lines in my file. It's 1523 lines long. The percentage count is ok. Is there any way to save this file if I have no Framemaker to even split the file?

With a very similar file. I wonder if there is something wrong in one of the TM segments that get automatically seeded...

| Having the same problem | Nov 28, 2012 |
Hi all,
I'm having the same problem with a 25,000 word document and I'm freaking out! I pretranslated it in Workbench and then imported it to Studio 2011. In the beginning it was working (I tested it) and many thousands of words later I tried to save target and this message comes up.
I know it's been discussed already but I was wondering if any of you has come up with another solution by now (except for manually pasting the translation!).

Does splitting files really work? Also, if all else fails, can I convert the studio memory to a 2007 tm and just translate the doc in workbench?
Thanks a lot for your help ▲ Collapse

| Had the same problem and got help from SDL support | Dec 14, 2012 |
Hi all,
I had the same problem yesterday with a 57-page file I had pretranslated with Trados 2007 and then translated with Studio 2011. The only difference to Joanna's case is that my percentages were correct all the time.
It's true that in many cases, the Trados error messages are useless, but this time it seems that the problem was with tags after all. I sent the file to SDL support and here is the reply I received:

It's true that in many cases, the Trados error messages are useless, but this time it seems that the problem was with tags after all. I sent the file to SDL support and here is the reply I received:
"I have received your file and by looking at the bilingual, I noticed that at segment 69 there are some extra tags added in the target segment. Once I removed these tags from the target segment, I was able to Save Target As error free."
I have no idea where those extra tags came from, but I would say that going through all the 1658 segments of the file and checking them for extra tags is still less trouble than copy-pasting the entire text, segment by segment, to a new document. My initial workaround was to re-translate the text in TagEditor, but as even that involved quite a lot of tweaks to tags, I hadn't even finished when the reply from SDL support arrived.

I just had this happen with a small translation that I can fortunately cut and paste segment by segment, but that would be a real problem for a huge, enormous document. Ctrl+Shift+H does not show *any tags* out of place. I realize the XML standard requires XML-based software to stop processing when a document seems inconsistent, but your literal interpretation of that standard to prevent the user from ever seeing an exported document feels a bit extreme to me....
I'm very unhappy at the moment, and will probably discontinue using Trados until I can be assured that I will not lose my work.
**Edited to correct error message in subject line.**

Sorry, I can't do that; as you might expect, the file is under NDA.

| May be some solution | Jun 17, 2013 |
Hi,
I'm not sure if this is the best solution, but it worked in my case. I had two small files and the same problem at the end. My files were in bilingual word format. I closed the project and opened each original bilingual file again as document File - Open - Document. Then I applied the TM that I used for translation. And bingo! It worked. I saved files in the original format.
Good luck!
Oleg
