Hello Stefanie Mueller ,

Can you please check the settings- its likely that this was set up correctly in 2019 but has not yet been added (the file type).

This thread should explain everything and how to set up the file type-

community.sdl.com/.../txlf-files

Hello Steven,

Thanks for getting back to me with your suggestion. The file type is set up correctly under XLIFF in 2021 and has been ever since I installed 2021: In "File Types under XLIFF, I have "*.xlf;*.xliff;*.xlz;*.txlf" specified for "File dialog wildcard expression:" I added that string for XLIFF 2.0 just now (there, the extension ".xlz" was missing). I confirmed these settings under "Options - FileTypes - XLIFF" and in "Project Settings".

I tried creating a new project (fail), shortening the rather lengthy name of the file to under 10 characters (fail), moving the file (with long name) to the second from the top parent directory and trying to open it from there (fail), shortening the name in that location and trying to open it (fail). 

The message remains the same: 'The element names 'xliff' is an invalid child for the XliffProvider element' and "XLIFF 2.0 v 1.0.0.0" for Origin. 

Any other thoughts?

Thanks.

Stefanie

Are you using a project template other than the default?  Perhaps this is why the file is not being picked up.  It sounds as though the XLIFF 1.1-1.2 v 2.0.0.0 filetype is not activated so it tries with the next available which is XLIFF 2.0.  That doesn't work as TXLF isn't XLIFF 2.0.

So I'd check my templates to make sure I'm creating the project with the files I think I am.
