I've recently updated to Windows 10 and now I'm unable to open xlf files in SDL Trados Studio 2014. I get an error that reads: "The identified target language does not match the expected project language". I know it has nothing to do with language codes, as I've had no problem opening the same files in a Windows 7 and Windows 8 PC. Any help?
I attach error message. Thanks in advance!!!!
Hi Violeta,
I do think it may be related to language codes. Studio takes the codes it supports from the operating system, so if you were to check in three different operating systems you would see different languages available to you.
However, it would be a good idea to tell us exactly what languages are in your project (main language and sub language, so en-GB or de-AT for example) and also take a look with a text editor and see what languages are in the XLIFF file you are working with.
It might also be helpful if you did attach the error message in full. You can do that by saving the error message to your desktop and then attach that file (it's an xml file) to here:

Hi Paul. Thanks for your reply. The project languages are these:
source language: en-US
target language: es-LA
This happens with XLF files only.
I thought it was all about Windows 10, as I'd had no problem at all with xlf files in Windows 7 or 8.
I attach details of the error message.
My SDL Trados instructor does not know how to solve this issue and suggested my getting back to you for an answer. What shall I do?
Thanks in advance,
Violeta

Hi Paul!
I'm sorry for taking so much time to get back to you. I understand what you requested from me, but as I am not 100% proficient in using the SDL tool yet, I do not know how to edit the files as per your request. So I asked our Trados instructor to help us out with your request. He has only gotten back to me with the following. Does it work? If not, I'll keep trying to deliver the files as you requested.
This is a file I was unable to open in Windows 10. However, I was able to translate it in Windows 7 from in a PC
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xliff version="1.2" xmlns="urn:oasis:names:tc:xliff:document:1.2" xmlns:okp="okapi-framework:xliff-extensions" xmlns:its="http://www.w3.org/2005/11/its" xmlns:itsxlf="http://www.w3.org/ns/its-xliff/" its:version="2.0">
<file original="CX Insider April 2016" source-language="en" target-language="es-la" datatype="x-text/html+plain">
<body>
Thanks!!
Violeta
Hi Violeta,
This works without a problem. If I use the single document process when I first open the file the target language is not recognised, as expected:
So I can manually change the target language to whatever I want and it opens like this:
I am getting messages telling me the languages are not correct and not validating, but I can ignore them. I can still translate the file and save the target.
If I create a project with en(US) - es(LA) and add this file then it just works. I can translate and save the target.
As long as I don't change any settings that might "correct" the language code then the target file is exactly the same as the source, only translated.

Hi Paul!
Thanks for your reply. It seems clear to me.
However, I do not know how to use the "single document" process. So far, I've always created "projects", at least that's what I learned from my instructor here.
Can you walk me through the single document process so that I can create the relevant project after that?
Is this an issue with Windows 10 then?
I greatly appreciate your help!!!!
Violeta
Hi Paul!
I think I got it now!! If there's any trouble, I'll let you know.
thanks for your time and support!!!!!

Jerzy, I do think the error is due to upgrading to Windows 10. In fact, I had no trouble whatsoever opening XLF files when I worked on either Windows 7 or Windows 8 (I did that for over 1 year). The error messages started when I upgraded to Windows 10. I contacted Paul, who helped me a great deal and suggested two ways to work on this type of files: either as single documents (setting the target language, in my case) or saving the single document and then opening it as a New Project.

Hi Patricia,
I attach Paul's detailed instructions to set languages in single files. I can understand, as I'm having the same problem as you are. It seems to me that more people than just you and I are having this XLF trouble in Windows 10.
Hope this can be solved promptly. In the meantime, I'm using a Windows 7 PC only to translate XLF files, as it is faster and allows me to work on the files as New Projects.
Some people suggested the uninstall and reinstall option. Would that work?
thanks!
Violeta
