Changing languages in SDL Studio 2011 Freelance 投稿者: Michelle Homden
|
On installing SDL Studio 2011, I was confused by the instructions about selecting five languages. I chose English, which is my target language, French and three national variants of Spanish. I now realise that I only needed to choose one form of Spanish as all the others come with it. I'd like to add another language for practice purposes but cannot find any way at all to change my original selection. Is there a simple way to do this that doesn't involve uninstalling and re-installi... See more On installing SDL Studio 2011, I was confused by the instructions about selecting five languages.

Go to Tools > Options > Language Pairs, and there you can add or remove language pairs. | | |

Thanks Nora but the problem is that the only languages available to me are the three that I loaded on installation: Spanish, English and French and all their variants. I want to add German because I purchased some Trados training and the sample exercises require it. I contacted SDL training some 48 hours ago but they still haven't responded. When you load the software, you are prompted to select your working languages from a list which includes numerous national variants, e.g. Spani... See more Thanks Nora but the problem is that the only languages available to me are the three that I loaded on installation: Spanish, English and French and all their variants. I want to add German because I purchased some Trados training and the sample exercises require it. I contacted SDL training some 48 hours ago but they still haven't responded. When you load the software, you are prompted to select your working languages from a list which includes numerous national variants, e.g. Spanish (Spain), Spanish (Mexico), French (Belgium) etc. There is a note to say that choosing one language will included all "regional variants" (I think that was the term). This is rather confusing because it could mean the regional variants within one country. That's how I, mistakenly, choose three forms of Spanish along with one form of French and one of English. That's why I'm now stuck with only three languages instead of five and no obvious way to edit this. I wonder if anyone else has had the same problem. ▲ Collapse | | |

Uninstall Studio and reinstall, selecting German as one of the languages during setup. Straightforward but time-consuming. The second is the registry hack referred to in this forum thread: http://www.proz.com/forum/sdl_trados_support/148435-how_to_change_default_5_languages.html But I'd only advise that if you're feeling brave! ▲ Collapse | |

Uninstall and reinstall was the option that worked | Aug 10, 2012 |
Thanks George. You are absolutely right. Uninistalling and reinstalling was the advice from Trados Support (fortunately I had paid for the support package). It was irritating and time-consuming but it has worked. I now have the languages that I need. As for 'registry hack', I wouldn't even dare toclick on that link! | | |

The windows control panel/programs and features offers an option to 'repair' installed software. This doesn't reinstall the whole program but does allow you to repick the languages to use. | | |
Thank you Johan, EXCELLENT option :) | Aug 19, 2015 |

"repair" does not alow to change langs | Jul 8, 2016 |

It seems that it just repeats the installation without stopping (Win 7; SDL Studio 2011) | | |
Repair didn't work for me either | Jul 31, 2017 |
Choosing repair didn't work for me either, can anyone offer advice on uninstalling/reinstalling? Do I have to save something somewhere beforehand? Thanks in advance, Lynnette | | |
