The ERROR_TRANSLATION_COMPLETE Windows system error, with code 757 (0x2F5), is a rare occurrence, and it appears due to corrupted system files, malware infection, and the presence of conflicting apps.
The message for Error Code 757 reads, The translator has translated these resources into the global space and no further translations should be performed.
Before you proceed, restart the PC, install all pending Windows updates, and disable any active third-party security software. For most, these basic checks should do the trick!
How can I fix ERROR_TRANSLATION_COMPLETE in Windows?
1. Repair corrupted system files
- Press Windows + S to open Search, type Command Prompt, and click on Run as administrator.
- Click Yes in the UAC prompt.
- Paste the following DISM commands individually and hit Enter after each:
DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /CheckHealth
DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /ScanHealth
DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth
- Once done, execute this command to run the SFC scan:
sfc /scannow
- Finally, reboot the PC to apply the changes.
If corrupted system files are triggering the ERROR_TRANSLATION_COMPLETE Win32 error in Windows, run the DISM (Deployment Image Servicing and Management) and SFC (System File Checker) scans to replace all affected files with their cached copies!
2. Scan the PC for malware
- Press Windows + S to open Search, type Windows Security, and click on the relevant result.
- Click on Virus & threat protection.
- Click on Scan options.
- Select the Full scan entry and click on Scan now.
- Wait for Windows Security to detect and eliminate active threats. The scan may take 10-30 minutes.
3. Uninstall conflicting apps
- Press Windows + R to open Run, type appwiz.cpl in the text field, and hit Enter.
- Select any app installed or updated around the same time the system error first appeared, and click on Uninstall.
- Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the process and then restart the PC.
If a quick removal doesn’t work, it’s likely that the app left behind files or Registry entries that are still conflicting with Windows. For this, I recommend using a top-rated software uninstaller that will wipe all traces of the app!
4. Perform a system restore
- Press Windows + S to open Search, type Create a restore point, and click on the relevant result.
- Click the System Restore button.
- Select the Choose a different restore point option, if available, and click Next.
- Pick the oldest restore point from the list or one created before the error first appeared, and click Next.
- Verify the restore details, click Finish, and confirm the change.
- Wait for the restore to complete. It typically takes 15-45 minutes.
If the previous solutions failed and you can’t identify the underlying cause, even after checking the Windows error logs, performing a system restore should help. It will revert all recent changes made to the PC, including the one triggering ERROR_TRANSLATION_COMPLETE.
In case this, too, fails, the last option is to reinstall Windows. This will, in all likelihood, fix things since the system error is generally triggered by software-based problems.
