Information message after importing XLIFF from Passolo

Question

Hello, 
 When I import XLIFF files created with Passolo Professional Edition 2018 into Trados 2017, I get this information message saying that no file type definition has been used for this file and editing functions might be restricted: 
 "Diese Datei wurde ohne Verwendung einer Dateityp-Definition erstellt. Die folgenden Funktionen stehen nur eingeschr&auml;nkt zur Verf&uuml;gung...." 
 -> Why is that? How come there might be problems with exchanging standardized files between two SDL tools? Does the problem lay in my Passolo settings or.... 
 Does anyone have an idea? 
 I, in project management, did not have any problems so far but , of course, the translators keep asking questions about it and I want to get rid of this message... 
 
 Thanks 
 yve

Hi bfj document services 
 
Studio gives this message by default if the underlying format of the sdlxliff is not recognised. This is intended to inform the translator that some features will not be available to them, such as saving the target file, using quick inserts etc. 
 
As the sdlxliff was actually created in Passolo and is only intended to allow the translation to be completed and then sent back to Passolo you get the message because Studio doesn't know what to do with the underlying file format. 
 
It's not a bug, and the message can't be disabled... it's just information.
