Studio 2019 - How to delete target langauge translatable files without deleting source files?

Hi,

I've noticed a change in Studio 2019 (Professional SR1 15.1.2.48878): when you want to remove a file from the target language, it also deletes the source file and converted sdlxliff from the source language folder too. The files are still visible though from Studio source langauge/Files list, but an error msg comes up when Open containing folder (path not found..)

It causes problems when when working with multilingual projects with different files per target language.

Previously (with earlier Studio version) what I did was: 

-Convert to translatable format (all files)

-Copy to target languages (all files)

-Remove the unnecessary files from each target language

NOW removing from target means removing form source as well.

Is it a bug? You do need the source files in the project for some cases (e.g. if you want to add a new langauge to the project, you need the source files to prepare batch tasks for the newly added language).

Thanks!

  • Hello

    I tried to reproduce the issues you mentioned but all worked fine on my side - I use the same Studio version as you do.

    - I deleted a file from under one of my target languages - the source file itself was still under my source language.
    - Then I created project packages for both target languages I had in my project, without any error.

    Is it something that generally happens on your computer, or does it happen with certain files, etc.?

    If this is indeed a general phenomenon, it might be a good idea:
    - to repair the installation,
    - and add Studio as an exception to your firewall / antivirus software.

    Let me know if it helped. If not, it might be best to reinstall Studio.

    Hoping to hear back from you.

    Best wishes,
