How to Fix the “Failed to Save Target Content. Cannot Find File Type Definition” Error in Trados Studio

Another Trados Studio error
The Failed to save target content error may occur when you try to create a “clean” file—that is, remove the source text from the translated file and leave only the translation using the Clean Up feature.
This most commonly happens when a Trados Studio package was created on one computer, but the final files are generated on another computer or using a different—usually older—version of Trados Studio. You can install several versions of Trados Studio on the same computer without them interfering with one another.
The solution is simple: either run Clean Up on the computer where the package was originally created or update Trados Studio.
