What I tried to generate target translation, it shows Error "exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation".
The file I worked on was docx. I tried to convert it into .rtf format and worked it in the studio, but the result was the same.
Anyone encountred this before? Do you have a solution?

Thanks, guys.

Hi! Mar 16, 2017

4) Then click you right mouse button, you get 2 options: Uninstall and Repair.
5) Choose Repair.
6) Wait for some minutes until the PC repairs the program and... READY!
7) Open TRADOS again and the message won't show up anymore. ▲ Collapse

Hi Cristina Heraud-van Tol

Thank you so much for sharing your solution from SDL help desk. I just had exactly the same error message in Trados Studio 2017 and by following your solution the error disappeared!

Best regards

Perfect solution Mar 9, 2020

Hi Christina,

I had the same error message, and your solution was still able to help me in 2020, using Trados version 2019. Thank you!
