Hello,

When trying to import a huge winaligned text into a TM or creating a SDLXLIFF file I get this "Error: attempting to insert an item that is already part of a collection" and I can't do it.

I've spent the last 4 hours correcting the alignment and had this unpleasant error.

Does anyone know how to solve it? Is it simple?

Thank you in advance.

I've never got that error before, but have you seen this? I don't know if it helps...

I just found this link too:

How to fix the issue in Trados Studio:
If the file has too many words to be handled in Browser Workbench, it is better to work in Trados Studio. However, exporting the task/file to WSXZ package won't work because of the same error. The workaround is to use the XLIFF format:

1- Export as XLIFF format. A zip file including the XLF file will be created during export
2- Unzip the zip file and open the XLIFF file in Trados Studio as standalone file
3- Run a Tag verification in Trados Studio (Review tab/Verify)
4- Fix all tag errors (ignore any other errors such as missing translation as they are not relevant. You can also change your Verification setting to report only tag issues as errors). When fixing, make sure that the tags in the target segment match the tags in source segment.
5- Re-run the tag verification until no more errors are found
6- Save the file as target in Trados Studio. The fixed XLIFF file will be created
7- Zip it and import the ZIP file into the WorldServer project/task. If no errors appear during import, your fix was successful.
8- Now complete the Autoerror or - if the error appeared during the export in WSXZ, attempt again to export in WSXZ format.
