Hello Dears

I have this problem each time I try to save a translated file.

"Checksum failed. Original file could not be found. It's either renamed or changed. Would you like to locate it by yourself?"

The question is I don't know how but the name of the file is NOT the name of the original file.

Any ideas of what's going on?

Any help would be much appreciated.

Txs.

Natalia

Well, the program tells you in plain English:

Original file could not be found. It's either renamed or changed.


That’s it. Unless you have the original file, you can’t create a translated document.

Hi esperantiso Mar 25, 2013

How are you?

Actually I have renamed the file with its original name and could save it this way.

Thanks for replying all the same.

Have a great day.

Does this mean… Mar 25, 2013

…that you changed the name of the original file after you had started translation? If yes, well, you should not do that. When you translate in WFP, you actually work with a TXML file being kind of image of the original file. Thus, don’t touch the original file. Or retranslate it.
