I have Trados Studio 2022 Freelance version and simple actions such as adding a file to an existing project or creating a TM on the basis of a translated XLIFF file are greyed out (inactive). I checked the Editions Comparison Table and I believe I should have access to these functions. Can somebody help?
adding a file to an existing project
Should be possible as long as you created a standard Studio project and are not working on a single file project?
creating a TM on the basis of a translated XLIFF file
If you mean importing an SDLXLIFF file into an existing TM, or updating a project to an existing TM then yes. Maybe you better explain a bit better what you mean?
I'm moving your post into the right forum.

Thank you so much! I set up Studio to work from French into Danish, and when I work on files from English into Danish, it won't let me create a Studio project and so I've take the habit of creating a Single file project. However, I wasn't aware that it limited my possibilities afterwards.Thank you again.

Why not? There are no language restrictions in 2022 for the Freelance version. What happens?

Well, first I get this error message:
Then when adding TM's I get this error message:
When I choose English (United Kingdom)->Danish (Denmark), I can get around it, but it doesn't work under "All Language Pairs". Is there a way that I can reset this setup (now I work more often in English than in French) or simply don't have a predefined language combination for the creation of projects?
Thank you again,
Dorte
For your first error: you are trying to add a file with different source language than defined in your project template.
For your second error: you have added TMs both in All Language Pairs and in a specific language pair. This does not work, as those two options exclude each other.
There are many solutions for your problems. If you work ONLY with single files, then do the following:
For working with projects:

Thank you very much! I think the problem may also be due to the fact that I'm creating projects from the Welcome page using the browsing option (here you are not able to choose a template), whereas, in this case, I should probably create projects from the projects page instead. I will try this in the future.
Thank you again! I think you just made my life a bit easier :-)
You are always able to chose the template, even if coming from the Welcome Page via Browse button. If you chose to create a new local project, the Project Wizard will start and show you this:
Under "Use settings from" you can chose either a Template, or an existing project to base your new project on it.
So create templates as needed and use them. This will make your life much easier. And organizing your files and folders in a systematic way will add an extra simplification on this.
