Hello,
Where can I find the setting to define German as my default source language (for all projects) and English as my default target language? Under Options -> Profile -> Settings -> Languages I can define my working language ("the language into which you will be translating"), in my case English, but whenever I create a new project, the default source language is always English and not German. I know there is a setting there somewhere, but I cannot find it!
Thank yo... See more Hello,

Hello, I am assuming that you use SDL Trados Studio 2009
Try this :
Tools --> Options --> Editor --> Languages
There you will see the default languages.

Thank you Ali, but I think you have got the wrong program!
My problem is with Transit (not Trados).
I forgot to mention, by the way, that I'm using Transit XV Smart, SP 26.

| | | | | This has to be changed in the default project | Apr 8, 2010 |
This project can be found in the installation directory of Transit under \Config\GLOBAL\, the file is called Default.prj: open this file in a text editor (e.g. Transit itself can be used for such purposes).
Look for the "SourceLanguage=" string. You have to set here the Windows code for the languages you wish to have, thus, in your case, set 1031 for German (Germany) as a source language, and, in the 2 next lines, e.g. either 1033 for English (US) or 2057 for English (UK) as a target langu...

Save the file and close it. The next time you will create a new project, the languages will be set accordingly.

Thanks Geneviève,
I carried out the changes as you described, and it seems to work fine now.
I just can't help thinking there should be an easier way! But now the problem is solved - thanks again!
