  • Hi

    Reinstalling or resetting Studio Freelance no longer gives you the opportunity to reset your 5 languages.
    It is, however, possible to reset the entry in the computer Registry to do this. You can either do it yourself, or better still contact installation help to ask them to do it...
    IF AND ONLY IF you feel confident about editing the registry, here are instructions. Follow them precisely because editing the registry is a risky business...

    Editing the registry key to remove 5 languages from Studio Freelance version (NB this is not necessary with Studio Professional)

    Close all SDL products.

    In your 'Type here to search' window at bottom left of your screen, type 'regedit'.

    Open the Registry Editor.

    Either search manually:

    The actual address is HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\LDSRClient5

    Or click on 'Edit > Find' or use Ctrl+F 

    Registry Editor window with the Find dialog open, 'Find what' field is highlighted indicating where to type 'LDSRClient15'.

    In the box that appears, type 'LDSRClient15' for Studio 2019 then hit 'Find'
    (it would be 'LDSRClient5' for Studio 2017 -1,2,3or4 for earlier versions) 

    The search will take a while as the registry is very long and very complex:

    Registry Editor window displaying a progress dialog with text 'Searching the registry...' and a cancel button.

    When the registry key appears, right-click on it and select 'rename'. 

    Add 'old' to the end of the LDSRClient5 name.

    Close the registry.

    Open Studio and you should find that it prompts you to add your 5 languages again. Note that you don't need to add more than one variant of any language as all other variants of that language will work once it has been added.

    Only do this if you feel confident enough to change your PC registry. If not, contact installation support here:

    Installation support

    Fill out the form, explain your problem, quote this post, and give them an accurate email address to contact you on and they can access your computer to change that setting for you.

    All the best,
