Language code for source language

Question

Hello, 
 I have a client that is asking me to translate a file and put EN only as language code for source language, not EN-US, or EN-GB, etc., but I have no idea how to do this. Does anyone know? Thanks.

 You cannot do this with Trados. Trados always requires what we refer to as "fully qualified" languages. This means the "language-Location" every time. 
 I have a question though... what is just English for your client then? Also what difference does it make for them?

 Sandra R. said: It is a Word file as MemoQ file in fact 
 ok - so this explains a little better. The original source s Word, then it was converted to a memoQ XLIFF (which can use plain EN), and you have been sent the memoQ XLIFF? 
 In this case it's no problem. Trados will use a variant, but your finished translation, when you save the target will be a memoQ XLIFF and it will just be EN. 
 There is nothing to worry about here.
