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:

Regards

Paul

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!

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
