I click Export.
The Export dialog "Create Translated File" appears. I click export current document. The dialog Save target document as appears. Everything looks correct. I click Save, the dialog disappears but the file has not been saved/exported. Tried several times. Even restarted the computer and Cafetran. But nothing.
I am using Akua 2018 update 12.
Help! I need to deliver this translation before the end of the night.

some ideas Sep 9, 2018

Have you tried saving it to a different location?

Another option is to create a fresh project and re-translate it using your translation memory (.tmx).

QA? Sep 9, 2018

Have you run QA, specifically: QA > Tags check?

QA Sep 9, 2018

Thanks,
Not all QAs but some including the tags check yes. It comes back as QA succeeded successfully. Don't actually understand why I would need to do a tags check since I can't move to the next segment without entering all the tags (but that's a different matter). Anyway, I did the tags check.

fresh project Sep 9, 2018

Yes, that's what I am doing now, started a different project with the TM but of course since I needed to join a number of segments during the translation, that takes some time. Hope by the time I am done I will be able to export/save.
Thanks for responding.

doing ht etranslation in a different project worked Sep 10, 2018

Don't understand what happened but redoing the project worked using the same translation memory worked. Lost some time but I was able to export the document.
Again, thanks for responding.

Source document changed? Sep 10, 2018

If you changed the original source language document located in the project's folder, either by accident or on purpose, you would need to replace the previous version of the document with the new one. It is done via the menu Project > Replace document... . The unchanged segments are re-translated automatically.

This is a nice feature I wasn't aware of!

Preview Sep 10, 2018

Can you get the Preview to work? That would be a big help.
