Changing language settings (TXML files, TMs, projects) Автор темы: Alice Klingener

So it's my first project using Wordfast Pro (rather than Classic). The PM has sent me several TXML files, each with a different source and target language pair defined, all of them wrong. Because of the random language pairs, each TXML file I open won't work with the project or TM that I've already started. So my questions are:
1. How to change the languages on a TXML file (and can this be done retroactively, after translation?)

(but I'm using WF Pro for a week now) you'll have to create a project per language pair. How complicated (comparing to WF Classic). If this is so, I will have the same problem (I have two source languages, in most cases even mixed up in the same TM).
Can someone confirm this?

Dear Alice,

Yes. Close WFP. Right-click the TXML file > Open with > NotePad. In the header, you will see: locale="-". This the source language; change it as you like. Also, you will see: targetlocale="-". This the target language; change it as you like. Make sure you enter proper language codes, e.g. "EN-US", "FR-FR", etc.
Note: If you have the source file, you may prefer to open it again in WFP and pre-translate it using the TM to generate a new TXML file with the correct locales.

Just create a new project; there is no problem in it.

Close WFP. Right-click the TM file > Open with > NotePad and apply find-replace operations on the language locales as you like.
Note: If all what you need is to reverse the TM language locales, you can do that in Wordfast Classic.
If you have any further questions, please let me know.

This old post just saved me.
I had some files that were being reject by the agency system, and I needed to change language code and had no idea it was so simple!
Thanks for saving my deadline!

Yasmin, I have the same problem (changing txml language pair from NL to FR-FR to NL-NL to FR-FR and did what you advise, except that since I work in Mac I opened the txml in TextEdit. Found the locale and target locale, changed, and saved.
Now if I want to open the txml in WFP I get 'invalid document format detected". What did I do wrong?
thanks
