I keep getting this annoying error in Studio 2022: "object reference not set to an instance of an object" It's a package file that was sent to me. I contacted the client, they redid the package, but the error is still the same. It works fine on their end.

On my end the file works for a couple of segments, then I get this error, and everything is stuck, I can't even close Trados normally. I tried several things offered in community support like Trados repair, returning settings to default and some other things (can't remember all). Still the same. It's tricky as it tricks me into working fine, the gets stuck in the middle of the work (client's package and package TM, then I lose all the work I did until then). I have never experienced this error before, although in the community I see they say it's quite common. Can somebody help? Thanks.

Since you have this problem only with one specific problem, how about this workaround: Export the project to a bilingual table and translate this as an Ms Word project? | | |
Maybe you should disconnect all associated TBs and TMs (and DeepL) and start Studio again. If it works then, connect them again step for step. Good luck! | | | Lingua 5B Bosnia and Herzegovina Local time: 14:13 Member (2009) English to Croatian + ... TOPIC STARTER

The client wants the package return. Btw, I tested other files, unrelated to this project, and this is not happening on any other file. These are not package files though. I didn’t even try to contact Trados support because I know they are completely inefficient. Or they charge for an actual support as far as I can remember. | | | Natalie Poland Local time: 14:13 Member (2002) English to Russian + ... Moderator of this forum SITE LOCALIZER
Assuming you have the problematic package opened and a project has been created: 1) Create a completely new project 2) Add to the new project xliffs from the target folder of your problematic package project 3) Add to the new project any TMs you need (including the TM from your problematic project) 4) Translate as usually 5) Save the translated target files into the target folder of the problematic project (in the Editor: File - Advanced Save - Save Copy As - overw...

(Before creating the return package you would need to confirm all translated segments but you can do this by choosing the first segment - pressing Shift and last segment, and changing the segment status from the right-click menu.)

Already tried the new package with file copying thing, the error reappeared. Questions: Can all this be related to how the client created the package?

I just concluded: The client opens the package, the package opens fine and the client reports: the package works fine. I open the package, the package works fine until about the 30th segment, then “object reference” appears and everything is stuck, I lose all work. So I don’t really see how mine and the client’s “test” are the same. The client didn’t test the file the way I did. Their test is not valid and them reporting the package works fine doesn’t mean anything.

Hans Lenting wrote: Lingua 5B wrote: The client wants the package return. And create the RP. This means I can spend time translating the table and then get the same error during the import. I already lost work twice, I won’t be taking that risk again. I can’t test it on an empty table because the error appears at some random, later segments.

I explained about the new project above, didn’t work. | | |
Maybe the trouble was/is caused by comments integrated into one of your source (Office) files. I had that caused many problems a couple of years ago. | | | Pages in topic: [1 2] > | To report site rules violations or get help, contact a site moderator: You can also contact site staff by submitting a support request » The annoying "object reference not set to an instance of an object" error in St. 2022 (package file) CafeTran Espresso | You've never met a CAT tool this clever!
