Hello,

This error typically occurs when there is an issue with the structure of the translated file, often related to tags or formatting in the content. The message indicates that there is an invalid character ("<") in the XML structure of the file, which is causing the export to fail. Here's how you can resolve this issue:

**Step 1: Identify the Problematic Segment**

1. Open the file in Trados Studio.

2. Navigate to the segment mentioned in the error message (Line 2, Position 4531). While Trados Studio does not display line and position numbers directly, you can use the "Preview" feature or search for segments with tags that might contain invalid characters.

3. Look for any misplaced or incomplete tags, or any text that starts with "<" but is not part of a valid tag.

**Step 2: Correct the Tags**

1. If you find any issues with tags, use the "Tag Verification" feature:

  - Go to the "Review" tab and select "Verify" or press F8.

  - Review the verification results for tag-related errors.

2. Correct any tag mismatches or missing tags in the problematic segment.

**Step 3: Check for Special

But the name of the file doesn't begin with this character. 

Instead of Export Files, try with the Generate Target Translations batch task. Does it work?
