Project has "Canadian French" set as source language in 'project specific segmentation settings' even though in project properties the source language is set as English.

    I don't understand German, but that message gives an example of language ordering. It should probably be either less confusing or moved to the user manual.

    Thank you for the notice.

    Does this issue move to Document category?

    That looks like a screenshot from a pre-6.0 version. The current one, even in German has a different message.

    The English message, by the way is:

    Specific sets should be put above general sets:
    "FR-CA" should be above "FR.", which should be above ".".
    All sets that match the project source language are applied.

    The message itself might still benefit from having "For example, " added before the sentence describing how more specific language codes should be placed before less specific ones, and maybe expanded with more examples:

    Specific sets should be put above general sets.
    For example, "FR-CA" should be above "FR", "EN-US" or "EN-UK" should be above "EN", and so on. All of those should be above ".".
    All sets that match the project source language are applied.
