Unable to migrate Back Translation: Object Reference not set to an instance of an object

Question

Trying to migrate a back translation project to Paratext 8 and have run into a problem where we get as reason for the failure “Object reference not set to an instance of an object”. I tried deleting the “C:\My Paratext 8 Projects\languageNameToCode.xml” as recommended in this support thread Migration of Back Translation fails but that did not work. I did ‘submit a problem’ after one of the failed attempts. The ticket reference is PTXS-17256

Thank you,

Answer 1

Somehow, the Biblical Terms file for the PBT project contains the contents of a Biblical Terms localization file instead of the renderings for the project. If you delete the BiblicalTermsPBT.xml file, it should migrate just fine.

Thank you, that worked.
