Be aware that it is important to know that not all versions of Fieldworks work with all versions of Paratext.

Thank you so much. But still I can’t fix the problem. I mean adding FLEx into paratext.

Can you give us more details about the problem? Are you trying to associate a FLEx project with your Paratext project and not being able to? Can you tell us what version of Paratext you are using and what version of FLEx?

I am using 91.104.59 version of Paratext and 9.4.14.0 version of FLEx. My problem is that I can’t associate a FLEx project with your Paratext project. I tired as anon044949 told wrote me but all in vain. I thank to him for his help. It says “the language identifier is not valid for the associated lexical project.”

The language ID in the Paratext project has to match the language ID in the vernacular language in the FLEx project. This ID is the two or three letter code for the language, plus modifiers.

Here is a match of a simple code: in FLEx (Tools > Configure > Setup Vernacular Writing Systems)

In Paratext project properties:

If the language ID has modifiers like the designation for a script or region or variant, you need to add the same modifiers to the language ID in both programs. You can do this in Paratext in the advanced section of the language identifier dialog.

(But if the project is registered, you likely will have to change this in the project registry).

In Fieldworks, you can do this in the vernacular writing system properties by clicking in “Special” at the bottom, then specifying the needed options.

If one program adds modifiers and the other program does not, you can remove the modifiers from one program if you want the simpler code.

To remove modifiers from Fieldworks, go to the vernacular writing system properties, click in “Special” and choose “None.”

To remove modifiers from Paratext, or the Paratext registry, remove the selected variants by opening the list and choosing the blank option.
