G'day everyone
I'm a new user of Trados. When I installed Trados 2009, it didn't ask me what languages I want to translate in, and now that I try to test some of the elements, I'm told that one of my languages (English) isn't on the installed list. When I installed Trados 2007, it did ask me and I selected three languages (English, Afrikaans and Dutch). For some reason, Trados 2009 automatically selected five languages for me, namely Afrikaans, Azeri (Latin), Azeri (Cyrillic), Du... See more G'day everyone

I don't even know what Azeri is... so obviously I would need to change these "default" languages to ones that I actually translate in. Can anyone tell me how to do that?
Thanks

I read in several previous posts on this topic that I must reinstall Trados. So I reran the installer. The second install took much less time than the first time because most of the elements were already installed. Still, it didn't ask me to select any languages (although it did ask me to fill in my activation code again).
Here's a silly question: where can I *see* which languages I had supposedly selected? I can see the list (mentioned in my previous post) in WinAlign, but I can't figure out where in SDL Trados Studio I can see the list of languages. Any ideas?
| | | | | Uninstall/install | Oct 18, 2009 |
I have no idea about SDLT 2009; last time I changed the installed languages it was something like Trados 6.5, for which I had to uninstall completely and install anew.
If I were you I would uninstall, clean the registry and install again.

I don't know how it works in Studio but for the previous versions it was possible to change languages without reinstalling.
Go to the registry, locate the key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SOFTWARE\\TRADOS\\Shared\\IDNG
It's something like:
{D7020440-18AB-11D0-B16A-00XXXXXXXXXX}
The last ten hex code represent the 5 selected languages.
If you type 67475D585E, you'll have Afrikaans, Dutch, English, French and Spanish.
I hope it helps.
Of course, make a backup copy of this registry hive.
You installed the Trados 2007 components?
PS.
You must restart your PC, AFAIR.
Cheers

You have to completely un-install the software and remove it from your system. Then try the re-install. It should work

Hi Samuel, hi Grzegorz
I checked this out on my Vista 64-bit pc. I have the SDL Trados 2007 Suite installed.
The key is in:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SOFTWARE\\Wow6432Node\\TRADOS\\Shared\\IDNG
and in my case, with English, German, Dutch and Danish installed it is:

From Grzegorz info I would gather that 47 is Dutch and 5D is English (which will automatically give you all the local versions of those languages, like English (US) and all the other ones).
I found the right key in the RegEditor by typing INDG in the search box.
By the way: you can see what languages you have installed by clicking on SETUP in the FILE menu of Workbench.
I can imagine that SDL wouldn't like us to be able to switch languages at random, but that is really BS. What freelancer can handle more than a handful anyway? Sometimes you may have to deal with a larger project and then it's necessary to be able to do this.
Question to Grzegorz: would you mind posting which languages you've found the code for thus far? I would specifically like to know French, German, Swedish, Spanish, Norwegian, Slovak.
Thanks.

Interesting.
My languages are Czech, English, German, Russian and Slovak and "my" reg key's value is
{D7020440-18AB-11D0-B16A-005D534D4F51}
I verified that
51 = Czech
4F = Slovak
so I guess:
5D = English
53 = German
4D = Russian

Speaking about SDLT 2007, if you change the code of a language and then run Workbench, menu File-New, the Create Translation Memory dialog box offers you the available languages, which may be the fastest way to check out what they are. No reboot is necessary.
Hence, changing just the last language's code in consecutive hex steps you could build a complete table if you feel like it.

You mean "Bad Solution"?
Question to Grzegorz: would you mind posting which languages you've found the code for thus far? I would specifically like to know French, German, Swedish, Spanish, Norwegian, Slovak.
The list below was published some time ago on a Polish CAT related forum.
It dates from Trados 5.x or 6.x epoch, so it's really incomplete (only some Latin and Cyrillic languages and Greek).
Afrikaans 67
Azeri 78
Basque 79
Belarusian 77
Bulgarian 56
Catalan 57
Croatian 4E
Czech 51
Danish 52
Dutch 48
English 5D
Estonian 71
Faeroese 60
Finish 5F
French 58
Gaelic 62
German 53
Greek 5C
Hungarian 5A
Icelandic 5B
Indonesian 75
Italian 44
Latvian 72
Lithuanian 73
Macedonian 7B
Malay 63
Maltese 61
Norwegian 40
Polish 41
Portuguese 42
Romanian 4C
Russian 4D
Sami 15
Serbian 4E
Slovak 4F
Slovenian 70
Sotho 14
Spanish 5E
Swahili 6D
Swedish 49
Tagalog 6E
Turkish 4B
Ukrainian 76
Welsh 62
Xhosa 65
Zulu 66
84 is a void code, AFAIK.

| Registry entry for changing default SDL Trados languages | Oct 19, 2009 |
Great! Works like a charm! Thanks Grzegorz!
In less than 10 seconds you can change the Trados default languages. (Careful with the registry, though - better back it up before you make any changes).
So this was my Registry Key with Trados setup for 4 languages , the 84 being the code for None or Void.
D7020440-18AB-11D0-B16A-005D53524784
I changed 84 to 58, like this:
D7020440-18AB-11D0-B16A-005D53524758

Well, there turned out to be nothing automatic about it. It's just that Trados' installer didn't work as I had expected. I took the opportunity to remove all traces of SDL products from my computer and give it a good defrag before reinstalling everything. It was when I installed Trados 2007 that I noticed why I had chosen Azeri -- it is because the list of languages scroll back up to the top after you've selected one of them, and Azeri is at the position that English is in before it scrolls up. So it really was me who chose Azeri -- I just didn't check my choices carefully before hitting Next, assuming that I had clicked what I had thought I had clicked.
I'm not sure why two variants of Azeri and two variants of Dutch was added in 2009, for I had chosen only 3 languages when installing 2007. This time, however, I added German and Swedish just for the hell of it, so that there are five languages.
The registry hack seems like a good idea. Now does anyone know the registry hack for turning an unlicensed version into a licensed version? Am I the only one who thinks it is darn silly that one has to type in those activation numbers one by one by one, instead of just pasting the entire string in one go?

Hello Samuel,

no, you're not
I really wish we could paste the activation code in one go, as I do return my licenses quite often

Giuliana
It is acutally possible to paste the activation code in one go. Just copy it, put the cursor in the first field of the activation code and paste it - it works like a charm.
Best regards,
Claudia

Hello Claudia,
that must be new (can't remember when I tried that last time though), as last time I tried only the first block was pasted. Good news then

I just tested it, and it works. Copy the entire activation code, put your cursor in the first block, and paste. Which is a little silly, because using separate boxes would normally tell a user that he would need to paste or type each box separately.
