You don't have to change any languages in 2021.  You have access to all the available languages that Studio supports.  Please can you explain, or maybe share a screenshot, why you have this problem or a need to change languages?

The only place to change ONE language pair, which is suggested when you use single file approach, is here:

But the only place this is accessed is when you use the single file approach and with 2021 there will be no restrictions in choosing a language.

I did wonder if Michael Woolgar meant in here:

But even here it won't stop you selecting languages.  So that's why I asked for more info as I really don't understand what the problem really is.

Thank  you, Paul. When I installed 2021, it automatically set up three target languages of English to German, French, and Japanese. When I try to make other adaptations, these languages show up and which I cannot change, when I really want language pairs of French and Spanish to English. Any thoughts on how to change this default set-up, please?

Thank you, Jerzy; I take note of your kind reply, and also note that the Language Pairs can be introduced further down your list under that title.
I don't know if that will change the default language pairs that were installed when I installed Trados 2021. Any thoughts on that aspect, please?

As I just said... there are no restrictions with 2021.  The whole idea of only selecting 5 languages ended with this release.  You have them all!

Most probably because you took the sample project.

But this doesn't stop you using any language you like.  Please explain why you cannot create a project with any languages at all?  Screenshots... more evidence of what you are doing and what you are seeing.

Further to my previous reply, please note that in Project Settings -> All Language Pairs > Translation Memory etc, only the three default languages appear for use. They can be removed, but then what - how can they be replaced?

OK, thank you very much for your comments. I do understand that all languages are available for use, but I was bothered by the three default languages that don't fit my requirements. However, I will see how the real-time application of the new program works out and will ask for help if any real problems occur. Thank you again for your very kind assistance and comments.

Just create a new project based on a default template and select languages here:

Or go to File -> Options:

However, I would NOT use the latest method, project based work is better and more clear.
