  • Hello,

    It sounds like you're facing an issue with generating the target file due to missing dependency files after a system update. Let me guide you step-by-step to resolve this:

    ### Step 1: Check for Dependency File Errors

    1. Open the affected `.sdlxliff` file in Trados Studio.

    2. If you receive a message like **"Dependency file not found"**, click **Yes** to proceed.

    3. Trados Studio will attempt to locate the missing files. If it cannot, you may need to recreate the `.sdlxliff` file as described below.

    ### Step 2: Recreate the `.sdlxliff` File

    If the dependency files are irretrievable, follow these steps:

    1. Open the **original source file** in Trados Studio. Ensure you use the same segmentation rules as the original project.

    2. Use **Batch Tasks > Apply Perfect Match**:

      - Point to the corrupt `.sdlxliff` file.

      - This will transfer the segment statuses (e.g., PM for Perfect Match) to the new file.

    3. If Perfect Match does not work:

      - Use your Translation Memory (TM) to pre-translate the original
