Hello!
Did anyone manage to make the new Phrase (mxliff) filter work? Every single time I try, I get a "Input string was not in a correct format". I have tried with several files from different clients and I always got the same result.
I even tried changing the two options in the filter, once at the time, but it is the same.
Of course, everything works perfectly if I open those files with Phrase Desktop.

I was very happy when the filter was introduced in MemoQ 10 (especially because I HOPE it imports comments from .mxliffs, too), but I am quite disappointed now.
If I choose the Xliff1 filter, the files are imported but I lose all the extra features I need.
This is the description of the error:

It usually (in roughly 80% of cases) works for me. I didn't expect that, but the filter even offers real-time preview which is really useful.
However, in 20% of cases the import fails with the error you quote. This often happens when the source of the mxliff was an xlsx or a pptx file. Note that you still can translate such documents in memoQ, just change their extension to xlf and confirm all the segments in Memsource editor after exporting the translation from memoQ...

Hi Tomasz,
I think you are right. All the files I have tried were originally .xlsx.
I know I can change the extension to xlf or xliff. Actually, I do not even need to do that. I can just use xliff1 filter. But I do not get the preview, do not see the content of any other columns than source and the confirmed cells in the original file are not marked as 100% in MemoQ. That's why I needed the new filter.
Thanks again and have a great day!
Fabio

This is not how it's supposed to work. This is what memoQ support is there for, so the only thing to do is to send them a bug report. You are unlikely to get bugs solved by colleagues.
In the meantime, you can use the above as a workaround.
