Solution for those getting this error message when trying to save Jun 15, 2016

Hi,

I got a similar message when trying to save the files I was working on in Studio 2015 (exact wording was: "Multiple tags with same ID ‘XX’ have different start tag properties").

I had opened all four sdlxliff files of my project using QuickMerge. Three of the files were .docx, but the fourth one was a .doc. Turns out that was the problem.

Hope this helps someone else! ▲ Collapse

Same error while analyzing the files Sep 1, 2016

Hi, same error here with SDL Trados 2011

I analyzed a MadCap Flare project for a new language combination and it gave me the same error.
Unfortunately I manage hundreds of HTM merged files.

I tried without merging them and I got the error exactly on some files.
I opened the original .HTM files in Notepad (source text is in English) but I cannot see any strange issue. I've 97 files with error

Any idea?

This is still unresolved, and I keep seeing random files throw this error, but I just wanted to add here that I've been able to identify footnotes, specifically "Page X of Y" footnotes as being the source of the problem.

When I delete this from the original or pre-segmented file, the error goes away.


I was retrofitting a review that I had to do in target since I was checking punctuation in lists and clauses and really needed context for that. I got this error in Studio 2021. I rejected the changes in the footnotes and tried the retrofit again and it solved the problem!
