A screenshot would be helpful so we see what you see?  Also have you tried initiating this in the Projects View as well as the Home View?

Ah from the Home view it works fine, from the "Tell me what you want to do" option, it does not. Well at least I can work on it now.

I only have a default template set up there, and I cannot remove that one

You can do, and when you restart Studio the correct latest version will be created in its place.  However, you said your problem was only in Trados Live and not in Studio?  Perhaps the problem is something else altogether.  How familiar are you with Trados Live?

No, the problem is in Studio, I cannot choose a source language when trying to create a local project from "Tell me what you want to do" (I can from Home, as just discovered, just never used that option). Next I went to Trados Live to create the project there but it won't handle the file type.

I cannot remove the default template. Do I need to import another one, set that as default, remove the old default, and that "old" default will be imported again automatically when Studio restarts? Am I understanding that correctly?

Exactly.  So this is no longer a problem preventing you from working.

This is the problem.  The instructions from Jerzy will not help you solve that as he suggested changes affecting the filetype in Studio, not Trados Live.

But since you can work in Studio, and because I doubt that the filetype is really an issue for Trados Live, I don't think we need to address anything urgently anymore.  But please feel free to send me the file and I'll gladly check it tomorrow.  I don't know how familiar you are with Trados Live so the problem could be something else and not the filetype at all.  If you explained what happened, shared a screenshot, etc. then it would be more helpful in helping us to help you.

Anyway, if you would like me to look at the file then you can send it to pfilkin@rws.com

Mail sent. But I'm happy I can work on it now. And I hope the issue with "Tell me what you want to do" is solved at some point.

If we can even reproduce this problem... so far I can't.

Well I didn't change anything, this is the first time I'm trying to create a new project after the update released earlier today. So I don't know how it happened and can't help you in recreating it either.

Thank you.  File received, added to a project in Trados Live and opened in the editor without making any changes to the defaults.  I sent you a screenshot.

I think, f you have time at some point you can share a bit more information than you have shared here about how you did this and what happened.  Certainly Trados Live has no problem at all with your XML.  Jerzy Czopik it is a very basic element only XML so the default is fine.

Thanks. I'll give it a try tomorrow and let you know if what's going on. It's now getting late.

Paul Hi Paul. Thanks for the update. In the past I learned never to use Any XML, but you (SDL/RWS) have revamped this file type recently, so I was really impressed how well it can handle unknown xml now. Nonetheless, dealing with XML remains usual a demanding task.
