Trados 2017 Error message: "Target language does not match the expected project language

Question

Dear experts, 
 I am using SDL Trados 2017, for a project with multiple "xlf" files in different directories. 
 The project can be built without Problems but when I try to open a project file (any file), the following error message appears: 
 
 Erroe message translation: "The detected target language does not match the expected project language" 
 I have tried to build the project with: 
 a. langauge pair given as "de" and "en" in XML file (this was the original language setting in the source file) 
 b. language pair changed as "de(DE)" and "en(GB)" in XML file 
 in both cases the a.m. error message apperas. 
 If however, I translate a single file, then the language pair setting "de" and "en" in source file works. One can translate. 
 Unfortunately, SDL Trados 2015 had the same problem but at that time after changing the language descriptions (as given "b" above) one could proceeed with the translation. This doesn't seem to work in Trados 2017. 
 How can this problem be overcome? Please advice. 
 Thanks and best regards 
 Shyam

Hi Paul, 
 
Thanks to Jerzy, meanwhile the problem is solved. 
It seems that for some unknown reason the Trados 2017 had entangled itself. 
After resetting the Trados 2017, the project can now open files for translation. 
 
I am thankful to experts like you and Jerzy to help people. 
 
Best regards 
Shyam

For future reference: for unknown reasons Studio created SDLXLIFF files with de-DE to en-US in a project, where the languages were set to de-DE into en-GB. As nothing helped, I resetted Studio by renaming the Studio folder in AppData. This resolved the problem.

Hello Shyam, 
 
I recall you having this problem in the past too. Didn't you resolve that by simply disabling the XLIFF verification? 
 
Can I see a project with this problem? You can zip it up and make it available to me at pfilkin@sdl.com if this is acceptable? 
 
Regards

Hi Shyam, 
 
I looked through your activity to find the previous thread (you can do this too in your Profile), but think the resolution was actually different. See if this helps you again?
