Ok, so this week I started using Trados Tag Editor (5.5) for the first time so you\'ll have to bear with my ignorance



I opened a bilingual html file to proofread, and the source is set at Spanish (Spain) and target English (UK). I need to create a new TM so I did that, setting the same source and target languages. But when I open the HTML file in Tag Editor and then Workbench, I get an error message that says t

Ok, so this week I started using Trados Tag Editor (5.5) for the first time so you\'ll have to bear with my ignorance



I opened a bilingual html file to proofread, and the source is set at Spanish (Spain) and target English (UK). I need to create a new TM so I did that, setting the same source and target languages. But when I open the HTML file in Tag Editor and then Workbench, I get an error message that says that the TM and Tag Editor file languages don\'t match, and Workbench will be disabled until I open a TM with the matching languages. But they ARE the matching languages!



So what\'s going on here?! How can I enable Workbench? I\'m goin\' nuts!

Thanks for your help.

Try posting your question on TW_users Feb 15, 2003

I\'m not sure about the source of your problem. In addition to posting it here, I would suggest posting it on the TW_users list groups.yahoo.com/group/TW_users/.



Good luck - Ralf

Spanish (Spain) or Spanish (Modern Sort) used? Feb 16, 2003

Some translators choose Spanish (Spain) others choose Spanish (Modern Sort) when creating TMs or TTX files.

To fix this problem try exporting the TM as a text file and take a note of the language tags before the segments. Then open the TTX file in Notepad. In the first line search for the language tags and compare them with the language tags in the exported TM. Search and replace all language tags that differ and save the file.

Thanks Ralf and Olaf Feb 17, 2003

After I posted this message, I took another, calmer look and noticed that it was just as Olaf said, that the doc was in Spanish (Modern Sort) and my memory was in Spanish (Spain), and since the flags are so similar, it was just an oversight on my part.



Just goes to show that the best thing to do is calm down, things usually aren\'t as complicated as they appear at first.



Thanks again )

Files already translated Aug 7, 2008

Hej! I have a similar problem here, and I'm a bit desperate...
I have a few files translated from Danish into Spanish (International sort), but my clients needs them in Spanish (Spain). How can I change the target language settings?
Thank you in advance for your help!

If you have TTX, you can change this using Notepad Oct 15, 2008

Open the TTX in Notepad and replace ES-EM with ES-ES should do it.

(assuming it's only a question of language setting and the Spanish translations don't acutally need to be edited...)
