Additional context

I have been saving without any error for many years but now I suddenly cannot.
I can save the file to the Desktop folder of Windows environment created by Bottles i.e. the folder under .var directory of Ubuntu where the Bottles files and software is installed/unpacked.

[mirkobrombin]

Flatpak does not have write permissions there. Give flatpak the permissions to reach your home or store your changes in the bottle itself. This is the behavior since years now.

@mirkobrombin , do you mean by "Give flatpak the permissions to reach your home" that I must use the --persist=path option via XDG directory access only?

[mirkobrombin]

I don't remember how the Flatpak cli works but yes, you have to give it permanent access to the directory and restart bottles

[Bushido1]

@mirkobrombin Are you hinting that Translation Workspace XLIFF Editor is a cli application?
