I have the following error message in when submitting from my perforce client (p4v):

Translation of file content failed near line 1 Submit aborted -- fix problems then use 'p4 submit -c 22'. Some file(s) could not be transferred from client.

I don't know what it means or how to solve the problem.

Perforce may be confused as to the file's type. Perhaps this is a binary file that Perforce thinks is text? Right click on the file and select the "Change Filetype..." item. This will open a dialog that allows you to change the file's type. Make sure it is set correctly and submit the file again.
