How to Get Rid of the “Failed to Save Target Content: The Illustration <...> Was Moved Between Paragraphs” Error in Trados Studio
19 August 2022
Sometimes it is easier to remove an error than to find its reason
Here is what we’ve got this time:
Failed to save target content: The illustration <...> was moved between paragraphs.
The error occurs when you try generating a “clean” translated document. The message suggests that the document has undergone either source editing or segment merging and/or splitting, and such action has caused an error.
This is the situation when it is easier to remove the error than to find its reason. How to remove this error:
- Create a new Trados Studio project using the target file of the “uncleanable” document and an empty translation memory.
- Update this translation memory with the segments of the problematic SDLXLIFF file.
- Pre-translate the SDLXLIFF file of the new project with this translation memory and make sure that all of its segments are translated.
- After this, the document will be “cleaned” successfully.
The explanation is long, but all these steps are really quick to perform.
