Hello Ralf,

Based on your description, it seems like you're having trouble with the "Save target as..." dialogue in Trados Studio 2022 Pro SR2. The issue might be related to the project's origin. If the project was created in Trados Studio's cloud capabilities and then downloaded in Trados Studio 2022 or 2021, the process to save the target files is slightly different.

Here's what you can do:

Step 1: Open your project in Trados Studio.

Step 2: Navigate to the "Batch Tasks" menu.

Step 3: Select "Generate target files (cloud projects)".

This should allow you to save your target files. If the problem persists, it might be a good idea to check for any available updates within the application, as they often contain fixes for issues like this.

I hope this helps! If you have any other questions, feel free to ask.

Best regards,

The project was not created in the cloud.

Hello Ralf,

I see, if the project was not created in the cloud, then the issue might be different. Here are some steps you can try:

Step 1: Ensure that you have the latest updates for Trados Studio 2022 Pro SR2. You can check for updates within the application.

Step 2: Try resetting the window layout in Trados Studio. You can do this by going to View > Reset Window Layout.

Step 3: If the issue persists, you might want to try reinstalling Trados Studio. Please remember to back up your settings and resources before doing so.

I hope this helps! If you have any other questions, feel free to ask.

Best regards,

I get this dialog box (my setup is Windows 10 + Trados Studio 2022, same buil as yours).

The UI difference may be due to the Windows version. Which one are you using?

Anyway, alternatively you can generate the target document from Batch Tasks > Generate Target Translations.

Windows 11 Pro.
Yes, I'm aware of the batch task - but this is quite tedious compared to just saving the target file.
Thanks anyway!

Kind regards,
Ralf

It depends on how someone gets used to. To generate the target file, my most common command used by far is Generate Target Translations, followed by Export files and sometimes Finalize. I rarely use Save As (or its shortcut).

Anyway, about your issue, maybe Paul  or any other Windows 11 user can try Save As…

I can't reproduce this using W11 on my own laptop... when I save target as I am just taken to the target language folder of the active project as expected:

If I change the "This PC" then I get this... sort of expected:

It looks more like a local problem to me.... I suggest you raise a ticket through your support contract if you think it may be related to Trados Studio in some way?

Thanks, Paul - will monitor this.
