Post title: Object reference not set to an instance of an object
I had a similar problem. When I tried to open a file in the editor, I got the "Object reference not set to an instance of an object" error message, and the editor would just shut down immediately. I could do anything else with the project - batch tasks, export a return package - just not open the editor! Which was a pain in the extreme lower back because I had finished the translation and only needed to insert my own changes.
I tried all the solutions I could find on the internet, re-imported the original package from the client, added my own return package, to no avail.
Then in the "Files" view I tried this:
- Right-click the .SDLXLIFF file and choose "Open With".
- Choose to open it in SDL Trados Studio (duh!).
- Make a change (and change the document back).
- Save the .SDLXLIFF and close the editor.
- Try to open the file for translation again. It opened like a charm.
The drawback is, I had to re-add all TMs and termbases. :(
