All,

I am using memoQ 7.8.4.
On a recent job, a customer sent me a *.sdlppx file, which I imported using the "Import Package" function. The customer had packaged two *.docx files and a TM.
However, while one of the two *.docx files imported correctly, the other one failed to import. The error message read: '10' is an unexpected token, The expected token is "" or "". Line 1, position 10.

All,

I am using memoQ 7.8.4.
On a recent job, a customer sent me a *.sdlppx file, which I imported using the "Import Package" function. The customer had packaged two *.docx files and a TM.
However, while one of the two *.docx files imported correctly, the other one failed to import. The error message read: '10' is an unexpected token, The expected token is "" or "". Line 1, position 10.
At the time, I didn’t understand what this meant and my customer's project manager didn't know what to do either. As a result, after translating the one *.docx file that imported correctly, I was not able to export a *.sdlrpx package. Instead, the 'Export (stored path)' and 'Export Dialog' options both created a *.docx file.

I have since found this thread (https://bel.proz.com/forum/sdl_trados_support/191768-unexpected_token.html) and have concluded that the 'unexpected token ' error comes from SDL and should have been resolved in the source *.docx file before creating the *.sdlppx. Is this correct?

I probably should have never accepted the job until the PM had fixed this error.

A related question is:
When I used the 'Export Bilingual - option memoQ XLIFF [Plain XLIFF for other tools]' option, MemoQ created a *. mqxliff file, that the PM could not open.
Why is a supposedly 'plain XLIFF for other tools', named *. mqxliff? Could it be converted to a truly 'plain' XLIFF that the PM can open in SDL?

Any comments are highly welcome.

Thank you,

Peter

When using 'Export Bilingual - option memoQ XLIFF' save your file with extension .xlf instead of *. mqxliff or change the file extension after the export. Then Studio will be able to open that file.
