Alison Field It's ok with me, but this doesn't really qualify as a support case for non-supported customers since there isn't a problem to fix. So support may decline to help.

Hi Ali,

If it does then can you send me the files in here after you restarted, selected your languages, and then closed Studio?

c:\Users\[USERNAME]\AppData\Roaming\SDL\SDL Trados Studio\11.0.0.0

Thanks

Paul

Dear İlker GELİR and Paul

I apologise for giving incorrect information... I'll delete my post so it doesn't mislead anyone :)

However, I think this is a valid point here:

It is a healthy practice to periodically perform a Windows Repair on Studio, not only because it allows you to change your 5 languages. You can export your profile with any customisation you have made to your settings, via File>Setup>Manage User Profiles>Export User Settings.

This thread discusses the merits (and irritations) of the process:

Change default 5 languages Studio 2017

It shows where to perform a repair on Studio - or indeed on any piece of software - via Control Panel. A Windows Repair is a very sensible thing to do after any major Windows update for example. It helps to smooth out any minor corruptions triggered by changes in software or environment.

All the best,

Alison

Dear Paul

I am one of those few. I know 6 languages and aim at learning more. So could you please direct me at talking to your sales rep? As your stance is hard: It doesn't matter if it makes sense, you who complain here are too few, the sales rep will be my only option right? I am wholeheartedly on Thomas' side here. It feels weird to be singled out because you know too much...

Could you please provide a link or e-mail to address this issue with someone who can open another slot for me? Or someone who would consider making it easier to change the languages...

Thank you.

I will now go tell my client that I cannot take their project, because I cannot add Portuguese to TRADOS. :(

If you have a Freelance Plus license, which doesn't cost much more, you can install Studio on 2 computers. Then you can choose for the 2 least used languages to be selected on different computers (e.g. ENGLISH TURKISH GERMAN SPANISH FRENCH on your desktop, ENGLISH TURKISH GERMAN SPANISH ITALIAN on your laptop). That's how you can have more languages "legally".

Update:

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 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 registry to remove 5 languages from Studio Freelance version (NB 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

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

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

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, tick 'Installation' on the Case Type dropdown menu, explain your problem, quote this post as they may not know how to do the above, 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,

Ali

Thank you so much for this solution. It worked immediately. After spending 4 hours uninstalling, installing, working with the SDL Freshstart app, this finally worked to let me change the languages. I only have to say how frustrating it is at times like these to work with Trados and these "quirks" that keep you running around in circles until you finally find the ONE person who can provide assistance.

Dear Karen,

I have the same problem since I work with ET, EN, FR, IT, SE and FI. 6 languages. Are there any new solutions? I am afraid of messing something up by changing the registry myself. Sometimes I just make an EN-ET project while translating from IT but then I cannot use Google Cloud Translation API (which speeds up the work) because the app detects EN as the language (instead of IT)...

Thanks in advance,

Maarja
