Hi there!

I am using Swordfish as a converter from TXML to XLIFF, which I process in another tool (DVX2). Reopening the translated XLIFF file in Swordfish goes without any problems, but I cannot convert it back to the original format. An undefined error message appears. This only seems to happen when the XLIFF file leaves Swordfish. Anything I am doing wrong or anything I can do about that?

TIA
Wolfgang

If everything goes well, then DVX2 is introducing problems in the XLIFF file.
