Hello,

In attempting to import a .ttx file into Trados Studio 2014, at the very first step (convert to translatable format) I get the following error message:

Index out of range (-1). It must be a number from 0 up to the number of items in the collection (0). Parameter name: index


First, it appears we can forget any claims that Studio is fully compatible with Workbench .ttx files (and any hopes this will be the case).

Hello,

In attempting to import a .ttx file into Trados Studio 2014, at the very first step (convert to translatable format) I get the following error message:

Index out of range (-1). It must be a number from 0 up to the number of items in the collection (0). Parameter name: index


First, it appears we can forget any claims that Studio is fully compatible with Workbench .ttx files (and any hopes this will be the case).

Second, does anyone have any suggestions on how I can successfully import this .ttx so I can work on it in Studio 2014?

Thanks

Why import? Oct 27, 2013

Just open the file.

Go to File > Translate Single Document and select the file.

It works without any problems.

Regards

A.

Still same error message Oct 27, 2013

Hi Andrzej,

Thanks for the tip, but I still get the identical error message when Trados tries to open up the file.

Another .ttx Trados 2014 problem Nov 29, 2013

Hi I am looking to import multiple .ttx into one Trados 2014 project.

So that answers the "why not just open it" comment someone else asked above

I want all the files in ONE project.... so I can use them virtually merged....

But Trados imports them as reference and won't let me change them to translatable.

Does anyone have any ideas, please?

Perhaps... Nov 29, 2013

... the languages in the TTX don't match? Can you open them individually using Translate Single Document? Give that a try and as you open them the languages in the TTX will be displayed.

Regards

Paul

Languages OK Nov 29, 2013

The languages are OK

The TTX files open OK as single-project files

When I select the TTX files for addition to a new project

I get

type unknown
usage reference
file type identifier unknown.

and I can't change the useage

Found it Nov 29, 2013

I'd been trying to ensure that ttx as a format existed by clicking on the file types section of the PROJECT SETTINGS, which didn't help.

There's a file types button in the PROJECT FILES window.... with a confusing filter funnel image, to make you think it is just going to sort the input files by file types.... you have to click there and then there's some red text allowing you to click again and add the .ttx format if you don't have it already.

hope this helps someone e

When will this glitch be fixed? Jan 20, 2014

It's really amazing to see this compatibility issue appear time and again for each new version of SDL Trados. Now I have this issue, too, and this problem hasn't been fixed for 3 months. I also found that files exported from WorldSever can't be handled correctly on Trados Studio 2014. I can translate the files (xliff, ttx, xlf), but when I tried to save target files, the files will be garbled and many segments aren't saved.

Hi,

I’d be happy to review any files you wish to share to demonstrate your point? Perhaps it’s just a question of the settings you are using.

Incorrect source language setting Jan 23, 2014

Hi,

I just had the same problem as described above.

The problem turned out to be the source file language setting. I knew I was translating from Dutch, but I had no way of knowing (since I am unable to open the TTX files without TagEditor) that the source files were in Belgian Dutch! Once I changed the source language setting everything worked just fine.

error: hexadecimal value 0x02 is an invalid character. Jun 30, 2014

Hello everyone,

I have Trados Studio 2014 Freelance and when I try to open a specific ttx. file I get the following error:

hexadecimal value 0x02 is an invalid character.

So the file cannot be opened.

Because the ttx. file had been sent by an agency, I tried to create my own ttx file using the original doc file and the SDL TTX it option in Trados Studio 2014, but the problem is still there.

Is there a way to overcome this?
