Dear Jerzy, instead of deleting it, I just renamed it to "project.bak". Should this be fine? After restarting Studio, the projects window now is completely empty! Kind regards, Erik | | | Jerzy Czopik Germany Local time: 17:23 Member (2003) Polish to German + ... That is normal | Nov 29, 2010 |
Now please go to the project folder, double click the sdlproj file. This will open the project - and the trouble should be gone. In this way you can also restore other projects. | |

Dear Jerzy, Thanks for your help! I've done as you suggested. However, I can't open the project (error message: "Das angegebene Projekt kann nicht geöffnet werden.") Any further ideas?

delete the project in question from the project list, but NOT from HDD. Move the whole project folder to another location. Recreate the project with exactly the same name and structure. Replace the ProjectTM and the target SDLXLIFF files by the files from the project you moved elswhere. Hope that helps. | | | Erik Freitag Germany Local time: 17:23 Member (2006) Dutch to German + ...

Hi, I have had the same problem now.... due to running a QA check / verification on a big Studio file - I was inpatient and stopped it on 8% after 20 mins.... on re-opening the project, it showed the "unclosed literal string" error as for Erik. It has been solved thanks to the above instructions Just thought I would let the others know about the source of my error and also praising the solution Thanks Stan | |
