Hello,  

To address the issue of Trados Studio not recognizing the XLIFF 1.2 file, please follow these steps:

**Step 1:** Verify the XLIFF file's structure. Use an XML validator tool to ensure that the file is well-formed and adheres to the XLIFF 1.2 specifications. Pay special attention to any invalid attributes or characters that may cause parsing errors.

**Step 2:** Check the language pair in the XLIFF file. Ensure that it matches the language pair you are using in Trados Studio (Portuguese (PT) to English (UK)). If there are discrepancies, correct them in the XLIFF file.

**Step 3:** If you continue to receive error messages, try opening the XLIFF file in a text editor and check the schema location at the beginning of the file. Remove any extra content or line feeds that may have been inadvertently added.

**Step 4:** If the issue persists, consider creating a new project in Trados Studio with a different target language, such as English (United States), to see if that resolves the problem.

**Step 5:** As a workaround, you can also try translating the XLIFF file individually as a single-document translation instead of creating a project.

**Step 6:** If you have access to a different version of Trados Studio, try opening the file there to see if it resolves the issue.

If you follow these steps and still encounter problems, please provide the exact error message you are receiving, as this will help in diagnosing the issue further.

When I try translating the XLIFF file individually as a single-document translation it auto-detects the wrong Source language ((Dutch Netherlands) and does not allow me to change ir.
