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.

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 :-)

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:

Go to File -> Options -> Language Pairs
Chose All Language Pairs
Chose Translation Memory and Automated Translation
Remove ALL TMs listed there
Now go to your specific language pairs one by one
Chose Translation Memory and Automated Translation
Add corresponding TMs under each single language pair
When you now open a signle file for translation and chose the language pair, Studio will present you only the TMs configured for this specific language pair

For working with projects:

Look at your list of projects and select one perfectly configured project for the desired language pair
When the project is selected, select "Create Project Template" from the menu bar above, section "Tasks"
Give the template a sounding name
Do so for all language pairs needed
When creating a new project, select those templates instead of the default one

Well, first I get this error message:

Then when adding TM's I get this error message:

Danish (Denmark)'" />

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

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

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.

Should be possible as long as you created a standard Studio project and are not working on a single file project?

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.
