I was translating a Word 2007 file in Cafetran Ichiro 2016 on a computer with Windows 10. Suddenly, the computer was restarted. When I opened Cafetran, when clicking on the project I was working, I get a window that says "content is not allowed in prolog". Anyone know if I can get my job back?
Thank you.

Reuse Project Memory Jun 22, 2016

Your project file may have got corrupted when you computer restarted suddenly. However, the project memory - ProjectTM.tmx file located in the project folder may be okay.

1. Create a new project with the same source document.
2. Activate the Memory menu via the View > Show memory menu.
3. In the Memory menu, click Memory > Open memory... and load the ProjectTM.tmx memory file from the previous project.
4. After it is loaded, insert all the exact matches from this

4. After it is loaded, insert all the exact matches from this translation memory via the Translate > Insert all exact matches.
5. Review the translation to see if there are any empty segments left. You can use the QA > Empty segments check for this purpose. You would need to activate the QA menu too (View > Show QA menu).
6. Export the translation to create the translated document.

Also try to rename the original file Oct 3, 2020

I have just encountered the same problem in my CafeTran full perpetual version copy, 10.8. My project was started from a TRADOS project package. My Windows computer suddenly restarted and that’s when I got the same message “content is not allowed in prolog window”. So I renamed the TRADOS package and I used it to open a new project on Cafe Tran. Then I added the memory of the previous project following Igor’s instructions.
