WFP4 is less forgiving if you misguess the language codes of your input files. For example, if your input file's source language code is EN, and you don't know it and simply set up a project for EN-US, then WFP4 will refuse to accept the input files, and you'll have to start all over again.

That is really annoying and time-consuming. From a linguistic standpoint I never understood why this is given so much importance, in any tool, MemoQ etc.
When I translate into German, I don’t care if my source language is Brazilian or European Portuguese.
- And yes, less subfolders –
As a general input, I would like to ask the developers to keep it as simple as possible.
Like in translations: the simpler the language, the more complex the content I can express. The simpler my tool, the more I can focus on the actual translation work.
