Trados 2024 Professional just crashes

Question

Upon creating local project with four trados sdlxliff files (IT-HR), it just crashes when trying to process the languages. I purchased this product and again, as every time, I keep getting millions of problems and technical issues. I really expect at least to be able to work with the software I purchase. First I receive the info that the source language is different from the project source language. This is where it crashes:

Trados Studio screenshot showing the 'Create a New Project' wizard with a 'Please Wait' message and a progress bar indicating 'Adding files... Scan' in the 'One Step' tab. Source language is set to German (Germany).

Yes, there are probably workarounds, but I simply want to browse, open 4 files, and create a local project as it should be possible to do so.

Just unbelievable, always such a hype with Trados, but nothing's really changed since 2007.

 ok - let's try and work through what you have told us.

 So you are loading SDLXLIFF files, which are bilingual files, to a new project in Studio.

 The source language in the project you have shown is German. You said the SDLXLIFF files are Italian. This is why you get that message. 
 It should not crash, but please try creating a project with the correct languages and then add your SDLXLIFF files. Does that help?

 If you don't want to have a template that uses IT-HR, or change your default, then just select the language before adding your files. Do that here: 
 
 It's not fixed! Same for the target languages. Make sure they are correct too.

 Your problem seems to be that you are trying to add a bilingual file, that already has a language set, to a project that has been set up to use different languages. This is clear from your screenshot (note you can copy and paste images into here... no need to use external links which we don't like, so I replaced it). 
 If you add sdlxliff files, that already have their languages set, then you must make sure that the project settings match them. Otherwise, you will always get this problem. This is entirely a problem of your own making as far as I can see. 
 I don't really understand what you mean by browse... maybe you mean the drag and drop? Two solutions to this: 
 
 Don't use the drag and drop (it is actually slower anyway!), OR 
 Change your default project template so it uses the languages you want 
 
 You do that by going to File -> Setup -> Project Templates and in there you can set the languages you want to be default:

Trados Studio > 2. Trados Studio
